I showed you this public toilet in an earlier post.
When I googled the school to give you more information,
I ended up shaking my head.
Here's what Wikipedia says about the town of Marco:
...The settlement is named from Marco Road, which runs a short distance to the
northwest. The road was named after a dog owned by the district surveyor,
Mr Sladden. Marco was killed in the middle of the road line by a
huge boar while he and his master were pig hunting.
This lovely mural is located at the entrance to the short walkway to the historic grave of
John Morgan, a surveyor. When you get to the grave, it seems to be deep in the bush,
but you can see it from the road.

What a building, the work that conjures up a belief anyone to have a pee. Great images.
thank you for the more info about it.
What a unique and interesting building. And to see that he died at such a young age...wow, have things changed!...:)JP
Weird to see a grave in random places but it so cool! #photofriday
I like how the local school were allowed to decorat this loo. A nice civic minded project for young children. Interesting post Betty, thank you.
The old grave is amazing -- to think about the life of this man who died at such a young age. Fascinating!
Off-beat indeed, Betty - but neat images!
Great title for this post! How apropos. :)
I've enjoyed seeing your photos and reading your captions.
It's great that the kids were able to decorate the washroom. It certainly looks brighter than a plane old building.
Thanks for sharing!
We definitely need more art in our world. Especially art on toilets dedicated to the memory of a dog killed during a pig hunt.
Here's my Saturday Snapshot!
Interesting the way the grave has been fenced off. I like it. I really like the way the public toilet is decorated too.
I love to come across unique places like this! It's strange that the road was named for the dog, rather than the man who died so young.
ha ha - always fun to see murals in unexpected places! And you are right - that grave site looks like it is deep in the woods. Nice tribute.

Thats not a bad place to end up - shame about the dog, but the boar was probably just doing what pigs do!

Unusual to find a road named for a dog. Interesting pictures.
I love the little grave site, and your photos of it are just lovely! Interesting that the town was named for a dog, and kind of sweet too!
The toilet is nicely decorated. I liked seeing all the tree ferns in the backgrounds of your photos.
