Thread: Toilet Paper

On my travels around Oz I too have become alarmed at the amount of loo paper across this wide brown land.

My advice: Don't bury it or cover it up. Collect it and burn it when possible or place appropriately in rubbish bins where available (obviously not in the Simpson etc). It will quickly become un-buried in wind or with feral animals about. I go further and carry my poo out too in a portable loo. Then I dispose of it at a dump point. Again not palatable on the Simpson but possible. And you get my point.

It is a common problem here in NZ too.

A sign I saw once a while ago...

Everywhere seems to be the same these days. People are just too lazy to dispose of it properly. Some time ago on a trip to one of my favourite spots in the Gulf country we came to our camp site and found some lazy ***** had laid a No 2 in the middle of the camp area and then dropped the paper on top and walked away. I could not believe someone would do this. There was plenty of area around the camp site that they could have went to and then buried it like most others did.

**** happens I guess..........

my trip to moreton at easter presented the same issue, right in the middle of a nicely grassed camping spot somebody has dug a hole, had a crap and couldn't be bothered filling in the hole and left paper strewn around the top

There are some individuals with "weird behavior" to put it in a nice way
In few walking tracks were dog poo bags and bins to disposal them are supplied by the local authorities people pick up the poo and then leave the used bags in the bush
If they do this what we can expect them to do in the outback?

Yep one of my secluded spots in the vic high country i frequent during the last vist some lazy so and so had done a #2 on the rocks about a metre from the river with toilet paper and the evidence left behind .

Totaly disgusting for more reasons also inc all their rubbish strewn everywhere and broken bottles as well .
Im not abusive but if id caught these ass holes im sure i could be

Even in the most remote spots like this one between the Colson Track and Geosurveys Hill with no vegetation cover, our resident Wombat would dig a hole approx 1 metre deep for the group and this would be filled in prior to leaving the next morning.

It is not that hard and leaves the place clean and tidy. Even on a morning tea or lunch stop both the guys and the girls would grab a shovel and do the right thing.

And here i was thinking this was going to be another 'always wear two pairs of socks in the bush' lesson.....
