The Oldest Flushing Toilet In Australia

This is claimed to be the oldest flushing toilet in Australia. It’s located in the Imperial Hotel in the Blue Mountains town of Mt Victoria, and most likely manufactured sometime between 1900-1910 by Royal Doulton.

    Sorry but my flush toilet in Hopkins Hall in Hobart is still working and dates back to 1835. I can send you a photograph.

        Sent you photographs – and additional information on – Ironmonger C Davis who’s name is on the toilet cast iron tank with pull-chain. Hope you enjoy the photographs, kind regards, Neville
