Ben Jarvie is the founder of DunnyDash — the public toilet finder for people who'd rather not gamble. A lifelong traveller, trekker, and self-described tumbleweed who has prospected his way across every corner of Australia, Ben built DunnyDash because he got tired of the three-search, one-desperate-café-purchase routine. After 17+ years on the road running service-based businesses from Darwin to Hobart, he turned that hard-won knowledge of every rest stop, stadium dunny, and roadside block into a proper toilet finder — pulling from government open data, community contributions, and the kind of on-the-ground verification that comes from actually using the things. He writes about public infrastructure, accessibility, travel logistics, and the unglamorous-but-essential question of where to go when you need to go.
