Meet the 'Loo Lady' flushing out Dunedin's public toilet history
Alison Breese is known as the 'Loo Lady' for delving deep into the mysterious and forgotten world of subterranean toilets.
One of the nuggets unearthed by Breese, who is studying a Masters on the demise of Dunedin city's underground public toilets, included a 1919 report from a city engineer.
He noted that as nearby bars closed each night, the underground facilities attracted "alcoholic pandemonium of vulgarity, obscenity, and blasphemy to the loathing and disgust of the officer in charge".

What’s something quick, or easy, that you started doing that made a major positive change in your life?
What word sums up 2024, neighbours?

In one word, how would you define 2024?
We're excited to see what you come up with!
