Geocache Description:


This heavily utilised set of toilets consists of two units that are mirror images of each other. They are located in a large carpark and open out onto Hillside Rd. Because of the heavy usage it is a bit of a chance that they may not be in the best of condition. You at least have the option of two units and if they are not up to your standard then you could go to the nearby toilet in Lorne St (GCADTGJ), or try one of the two box stores that should be able to easily see. (The one on your right has more options).

I'll describe the right hand unit as the other was in use at the time of this visit. The outside door is coated in dark green stainless steel. To open you have to slide the door by grasping the obvious handle. It takes more force than a finger tip to open.There is a red lever in the slot below the handle that points to "Vacant" or "Occupied" but generally speaking the previous user leaves the door open after exiting. Enter and slide the door to close. Push the red lever down to lock it. The floor is made of grey tiles and the wall is covered in white tiles. At the top of the wall there is a ventilation gap that also lets in natural light.

At the rear of the unit is the stainless steel toilet bowl that is jutting out from the wall with the ubiquious white plastic seat and lid. On the wall above is a stainless steel button that you push to flush the loo. To the left of the loo is a horizontal hand rail and a sanitary disposal unit. To the right there is an L shape handrail with the toilet paper dispenser in the elbow of the hand rail. You have no idea how much paper is there so hopefully you wont run out. I found that the paper was dispensed at the rate of about 3 pieces per press of the button. Once you've finished here you will need to move along to the hand washing station that is activated via sensors. I was supplied with ample liquid soap. So much so that it took a while to rinse off because every time I activated the water sensor I got a quik flow of water that was abruptly cut off. It took about 5 squirts of water to wash the soap off. I had no issue with the hot air drier. From here you move to the exit. Just slide the red lever up and then use the handle to slide the door open.

The 500ml cache can be found on the other side of State Highway 1 so unless you have time up your sleeve you will probably choose to drive there. Once you have parked there is a short walk of about 3 - 12 minutes, depending on your parking spot and walking speed.
