Most residences in Australia in the early 1900s had a "thunderbox" or "dunny" in the backyard. This would either be a trench or a hole that would be filled in when it was no longer usable, or a can that could be taken out and emptied. Sawdust or similar filler was used to cover the waste when the user was finished.
The sewerage system was still fairly new and restricted to more affluent suburbs in large cities such as Sydney and Melbourne. Proper sewerage and sanitation was expensive.
