Mucky Melbourne

Many years ago, but not as many as you think, there was a guy who would pick up your dunny can from a hole out the back of your outside toilet and replace it with a clean one. It was a shitty job but from stuff I've read it wasn't as bad as it sounded. My mum told me the local dunny guy was so good at it when her mum had the squirts he took the dunny away and replaced it before she spilled a drop of liquid brown. When a house was being built the first thing built was usually the toilet for the tradies to use.

Many years ago there used to be urinals in this little alleyway off Centre Place. Im not sure of their exact position and which way they were facing.  Knowing how bad the drainage was back then it would've stank worse than the laneways of Fitzroy & StKilda after the pubs closed on a Saturday night in summer.

Hello Im back The first 2 Fringe shows (2015 & 2016) were a success and I'm about to do a third! Here's a short film made by some film students around the time I did my first Mucky Melbourne Walking Tour back in 1995.
