"Flinders St. Station were operated by inserting a 2 cent coin"

The dunnies at Sydney Central station used to be under the main concourse roughly where the ticket sellers now sit in their booths. These dunny doors were coin operated, but don't remember how much. Seeing as we went to the pictures in the late '50s for the grand sum of 9 pence (9 colour cartoons and a feature), I can't imagine the dunnies costing much more than the proverbial penny.
