WE'VE all been there, overly hydrated, miles from home and no idea where the nearest public convenience is.
Thanks to the Australian Federal Government's National Public Toilet Map app, you'll never be caught short again.
The app provides details of the locations of more than 19,000 public loos across the nation, and includes details of the toilets' opening hours, and what facilities are available, making it a must-have app for those planning roadtrips this Christmas.
The Continence Foundation of Australia CEO, Rowan Cockerell, said the surge in socialising and exercising outdoors in 2020 had highlighted the importance of publicly accessible toilets, noting that "fear of leakage...in public can restrict, and even stop, people from leaving their home for everyday activities".
Cockerell added that a sudden desperate urge to go to the loo could be linked to a health condition, noting one-in-four adult Australians experience bladder or bowel incontinence.
