    It's a vacant lot with a river. I had internet access on my phone; I'm with Optus. You can get a little away from the road, so it's quite quiet.

    Not too bad place to stop. I parked right at the end away from highway noise near the railway line. Quite dusty and Double Gs about but besides that not too bad. Muddy river. @van_go_61

    Darr River Bush Camp is located on both sides of the highway. Some road noise. No facilities. On the river.

    Lots of room on both sides of the road. Bins provided quite peaceful most of the time.

    Two parts - different side of highway. Camped closer to rail line. Plenty of water not that you’d use it - muddy & not sure if safe. But a nice spot for an overnight camp. Plenty of privacy along the river.

    Good stop by river. Very dusty but that's just dry mud. If it rains would get slippery . Go further along for more spaces but just as quiet near road.

    Nice place. Right next to a river. A lot of trees. It goes quite far away from the highway, which is cool.
