Here's some news that's a bit on the nose.

Bushwalkers in NZ are frustrated that a popular South Island trail has been closed because the toilets are too full.

The Department of Conservation (DOC) issued a notice over the weekend, saying the toilets were almost at capacity on the Mueller Hut Route on Aoraki Mount Cook.

This meant the route was closed to day walkers, however people with hut bookings can still use the track and toilet.

"There have been far more visitors than anticipated this summer so the tanks have filled up faster than expected," a spokesperson told Stuff.co.nz

"We estimate up to 250 visitors per day have been using the track on busy days."

"We aim to empty the toilet tanks, and reopen the track to day walkers, as soon as possible. Exact timing will depend on when the required specialist equipment is available," a statement on the DOC website said.
