flaming furies


old type of toilet... drum in the ground and once a week that were set alight and of course people avoided the area when this happened - hence flaming furies. They were before my time in the Darwin area but I certainly heard stories about them. I'm sure older Territorians could fill you in on more details: I would avoid town today as the flaming furies are due to be lit. It is safe to use the flaming furies today.
