- Abstract
- In 2002, Dunnedoo, in New South Wales, by-passed the graceful imagery of the Aboriginal meaning of their home, 'Black Swan', to propose a giant 'dunny' as a tourist attraction for their town. This study explores why Australians have a particular relationship to the dunny and, in doing so, attempts to merge some theoretical insights of oral historiography and symbolic anthropology.; C1
