Public Toilets at Uluru, NT
4 public toilets at Uluru — the 600-million-year-old monolith that rises 348 metres from the desert floor, sacred to the Anangu for 30,000+ years. You can't climb it (banned 2019). You can't escape the resort monopoly. But you can find a dunny, watch the sunrise change its colour, and feel genuinely small.
