'Adventures in the Ladies Loo is a story-telling diary, originally set in 1981 but expanded to include more recent periods of time. The book is an insider view of what goes on in the Ladies Restrooms.The original manuscript was written as the author sat writing in the former Brisbane City Hall Ladies Restrooms, otherwise known as the Red Cross Tea Rooms. The quirky stories, reminiscences of earlier times, provide an entertaining eyewitness account of some of the events that occurred in that widely and much-loved place. The diarist is a little lady with attitude. She offers homespun philosophical views on what she sees, and continually extols the merits of this place where no boys over the age of six dare enter.A number of story lines following the activities of three principal ?heroines? have been woven into the original. These stories are based on the recollections of a number of former patrons of the Loo.' (Publication summary)
