I also remember having to take a candle, a mosquito coil and a box of matches to the outside dunny and then having to shovel sawdust down the hole when finished.
Foreigners, geeze, maybe we do need a wall....... what is a ""bob" and what is a "dunny"?
FYI, my first portable radio had an 8 track deck in it.
A 'bob' is a shilling - doesn't exist anymore due to decimal coinage. 12p made a shilling, twenty shillings made a pound. Easy.
'Dunny' is a toilet.
