if your australian, "dunny" might suffice as well.

Klo =?= loo
"Toilet" might be the official translation but I'd like to have a
similar word to the German short and somewhat slang form of "Klo".
The dictionary presented "loo" but I don't know the word.
I've never heard of "loo" either. What sort of conotations does the German
word contain? Some English conotations:
--"toliet" is a sort of generic term
--"crapper" is crude slang
--"privy", "john", and "facilities" are more polite
