Outback toilet paper litter

.
Yuk!...........................

I think I know what you’re after, but no photo’s here. Burnt plenty, but haven’t photographed!
Do you mean you are going to put together an Ad/educatin piece?

No, sorry. I didn't think poo ticket streamers to be particularly photogenic.

The washed out paper blends into the background that a standard image lacks definition and, well, zooming in is even less visually appealing.

With the way so many dumb people in this once great country are panic buying up all the toilet paper on offer - I reckon there could be a market to recycle all those pre-loved poo tickets and streamers all over the bush you are talking about lol

Can picture the brightly painted up Troopy's now - " Jims Wipe Twice It's still Nice "

Happy safe and poo-ticket-less travels

Michelle, just get someone to slip down to any out of town roadside rest areas with no toilets and you will get as many photos as you want.

I don't know where this photo came from. I found it years ago on the net and took a screen shot it.

Don't know if you can use it?

Hi Michelle.

After our last trip across the Nullabor and seeing first hand the mess left by travelers, I wrote to the General Managers of all the "Whiz Bang" hiring companies, pointing out that we had witnesses on more than one occasion, their clients relieving themselves in inappropriate places and walking away with no intention of burning or burying the waste. These are of course not he only travelers that cause the problem.

I asked that the companies educate their clients, as part of the hiring handover procedure, on bush etiquette and at least provide a shovel!

Needless to say I didn't get an answer from any of them and the problem persists.

It shouldn't be too hard to get some photos.

Hi Michelle, a delicate subject indeed, its a pity some fellow human beings weren't more discrete. I've attached a few photos from my files and a copy of an article I wrote for Western 4WDriver Summer 2014.

Hi Michelle

Author Kathleen Meyer, and the late Galen Rowell could teach some of these grubs a thing or THREE if they where to read there third edition of ( How to shit in the bush}.

Galen was a very good Photographer, not sure what could be DUG up there.....LOL.

Cheers Axle,

I thought I had a good pic for you. But when I dug it up, it turned out to be not so great. But here it is anyway.

The sad thing here (Lambert Centre) is that there's a multi-stall toilet. But it was unserviceable by September 2019. So people were back to creating a mess. Because it's just soooo difficult to put your used paper in your rubbish bag, or burn it.





This isn't exactly what you asked for, but it's relevant. :) It was here: WA bore

Thanks to those that have contributed. Yes, we've written about this for 20 years now but the issue remains and infact it simply gets worse every season. I am been pouring through my image library but like a lot of you, whilst we react to the sights, we rarely photograph them so not finding it easy to find the right shot for my needs. I have a vision in my head - and can't yet find the right photo. Please keep looking through your photos - I've got plenty of instructional photos and videos of how to poo in the bush that we've prepared, and so have many others, but none that are truly depictive of the problem. Phil's last couple come close but was hoping to get a wider angle landscape scene so still open to submissions if you find any please share.
This is a national disgrace.

Hi Michelle,

Is it just toilet paper that you're focusing on? General bogan camping litter is arguably as much or more of a problem and often (usually?) combined with your subject.

If you browse these pages you may find a suitable image.

Wasn't me. Haven't been able to buy any.

I should have taken a picture at Desert Queen Baths last year. Someone had left their deposit, neatly stacked used paper on top then weighed it all down with a small rock.
