What does "Easy — Familiar and Plentiful" mean?

Australia has plentiful, familiar Western-style restrooms with few surprises.

Should I carry my own tissues?

It's a good habit almost everywhere, and genuinely essential in destinations marked "tricky" here — paper isn't always provided, especially outside hotels, malls, and major tourist sites.

What if I see a small bin next to the toilet?

That's usually a sign the local plumbing can't handle paper — put used toilet paper in the bin instead of flushing it. This is a real, common norm in much of Latin America and parts of southern/eastern Europe, not a hygiene downgrade.
