A "dunny" is an Australian slang term for a toilet or restroom. It is commonly used in rural areas where outdoor toilets are more prevalent. The term is derived from the word "dunny house," which refers to a small structure built for the purpose of sanitation. Dunnies can vary in design, from simple pit toilets to more modern flush toilets. In some regions, they are equipped with basic amenities, while others may lack running water. The term is often associated with a more rustic or traditional approach to sanitation, reflecting Australia's diverse living conditions.
