THERE are pubs with no beer and now there is a town with no toilet paper.
Atherton residents are anxiously waiting to wipe after floods cut off deliveries of essential goods and left the town without toilet paper.
The town has been carefully rationing their dunny rolls for the past few days as they wait for deliveries to make it through on the flooded Bruce Highway.
Residents have been turning up to barren shelves at Woolworths for the past four days looking for the bare essentials.
Relief is on the way with fresh supplies on board a barge that was due to dock in Cairns last night.
Woolworths Queensland regional manager Tony Condon assured Atherton residents they would see toilet paper stock back on their shelves by noon today.

Only if you were in Ancient Rome, and there wasn't much cleaning to do, with a brush like that, on a toilet like this:

I thought Woolworth’s went out of business in the 1980s or 90s.
