A dunny arc is the deeply relatable narrative journey someone undergoes across a series of increasingly extreme toilet-related situations — usually on a trip, at a festival, or in any setting far from the comforts of home plumbing. It starts with optimism (nice hotel, clean loo), descends through inconvenience (service station with one paper towel), and bottoms out in something involving a hole in the ground and a philosophical acceptance that dignity is a temporary condition. Everyone who has travelled through rural Australia has had a dunny arc.
The camping trip gave us all a genuine dunny arc — by day three we were genuinely grateful for any toilet with walls.
