Best bogs’ blockage!

A PUBLIC toilet was shut down after it was voted a country’s best loo – and was swamped by people desperate for a dump.

The beachfront bogs at Hot Water Beach won its coveted title in the 2018 Keep New Zealand Beautiful awards.

The accolade is the highest toilet award in the southern hemisphere and soon loo aficionados from all over the world were coming to take a look – and a leak.

But its popularity proved its undoing and on New Year’s Day – at the height of the Kiwi summer – officials were forced to close the doors as a tidal wave of sewage threatened the beach.

The shutdown lasted two hours while bursting tanks were pumped out.
