I am the George Constanza of Sydney's Public Restrooms. If I find one that is reliably clean and with toilet paper stocked, I will base my employment/social life/shopping trips solely around that glorious amenity. Sometimes though, when you gotta go you gotta go- and being a fairly frequent visitor to the Circular Quay vicinity I have had plenty of occasions to visit the Loos down there, even if only for a quick make-up spruce up.
The amenities are 80% of the time clean, I have never ever been caught without loo paper, and although they are purely functional (ahem some scented lilies wouldn't go astray council, hint hint) they are maintained to a much higher degree than many of their counterparts.
Things I have seen and heard in the Circular Quay Loos:
) A trolleyful of someone's belongings parked outside, with the greatest fits of giggling coming from the end cubicle at the sound of her own ablutions. Glad to see someone having a good time!
) A couple of giggling tipsy girls frantically flossing at the sinks and comparing their post-floss gums to a scene from True Blood. Oh wait that was my friend and I.
) Cleaners. Deserves a mention. read more
