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"

No but when my grandfather was building his house he put the toilet room outside because he didn't feel it would be right to have it inside the house despite that it was a modern toilet. 😆 He simply felt it didn't belong there. So then they had to always leave the house in order to go to the toilet until they built another bathroom indoors.
