At the gateway to the Bega Valley, the humble long drop toilets at Pipers Lookout may have what it takes to flush out the competition.
And depending on the cleanliness of your humor, you’ll either find their location – atop Brown Mountain –hilarious or unfortunate.
The winding Snowy Mountains Highway leading up to the toilets closely resembles the twists and turns of an intestine, so travellers are often eager for a break once they reach this scenic spot.
Sitting at 904 metres above sea level, the long drops at Pipers Lookout could also boast one of the longest drops in the country.
At that elevation, the toilets offer sweeping views across the Bega Valley that can extend to the ocean on a clear day.
If the smell doesn’t take your breath away, the scenery certainly will.
Surrounded by old-growth forest and native bird songs of the South East Forests National Park, making a toilet stop at Pipers Lookout is to truly respond to nature’s call.
The International Toilet Tourism Awards rates toilets on their economic contribution, location, design, quirkiness of experience, accessibility, sanitation progress and overall commitment to toilet tourism.
