An Australian country town has had a spiritual reawakening relating to Art. The town is trying to shake off its unshakeable association with the toilet. So the town of Dunedoo is rebranding itself, as a destination of artistic refinement. The transformation had its stormy beginning in the New South Wales town, when the local council announced plans to install a huge sculpture of an outdoor toilet, or dunny, as a welcoming sight for weary travelers on their journeys.
Australian towns favor gigantic sculptures representing local icons.
For many in the community of Dunedoo - an immense toilet seemed like a natural - playing off the Australian slang expression for an outdoor toilet.
The "The Big Dunny" plan commenced seven years ago.
