...well there's some well spent tax money.

Brings new meaning to being lead by the nose.

There was actually a book released a few years ago that detailed all the 'publically accessible' toilets in melbourne. The author claimed to have at least one such toilet in every city block. This was not just public toilets, but also semi public ones like the bar at the Hyatt, or various food courts.

Mind you, my dad can't go for more than 2 hours with a loo due to kidney failure and the meds he is on. Often it is more like every 20 minutes. So, for months he mapped out all the available toilets in his region so that he doesn't get caught out. For some elderly people this map could be a real timesaver.

I was googling for a suburb in kalgoorlie. This was the top hit. Strangely enough though when i clicked it it said that there was no toilet in that suburb

I agree that that information can be a real help to people with medical conditions like kidney problems, diabetes, and bowel conditions like Crohn's disease which cause diarrhoea etc.

Werd up. Even people with IBS often don't like leaving the house as much as they used to because of that reason.

Well since someone has broached the alternative uses aspect I may as well suggest that these lists are invaluable to the 'gay cruising' or 'cottaging' scene. Other useful guides for them would be truck stops and rest areas (a la Something about Mary scene which I still find hilarious).

The UK made sexual activity in public toilets effectively legal some while back by repealing a law that made it an offence to have sexual activity in public toilets. Here's a counter argument to it by a Christian group:

Is sex in public toilets in Australia an offence?

Is sex in public toilets in Australia an offence?

These days most beats are not around public toilets but rather secluded parks. Might be different in the colder states.

I think it is an offence because it is 'sex in a public place', which is definitely an offence.

I can understand the motivation for cruising, but I think its purpose has largely been replaced. Beats were needed because gays did not have any places to meet. Now with gay bars [or at least gay-friendly bars] popping up everywhere there doesn't seem to be much of a need for beats. Then again I know some get off on the sleaze factor of public toilets, so I doubt it will ever be eliminated completely. Sadly I also think it really hurts the gay image.

Eliminated? It seems that there is a vibrant cruising scene everywhere. See:

ewwww! I stand corrected. Maybe it was wishful thinking I used to live opposite the beat at Moore Park in sydney and one of my flatmates used to cruise there and bring them back home. Often just for a few minutes - several times a day. He was HIV positive and I doubt he told (m)any.
