Anyone here old enough to remember having an outside outhouse?

West Coast of Tasmania, 1960's.
Our toilet was outside. Not very pleasant getting up in the middle of the night, pouring with rain, very cold.
There was a Nightsoil collector who would come around once a week to take away the dunny can and replace it with another one.
There were plenty of stories of the dunny can bottom giving way as it has hefted onto the shoulder of the "Dunnyman"
