    Nice spot and you can tuck yourself into the shade away from traffic. Proper toilets! No water or phone service. Lots of people taking loo stops on their journeys who aren’t staying over so can feel a bit busy.

    I have three bars on 4G. Apparently from a nearby mine site. No direct TV reception, though.

    Good rest area with very clean toilets and the tables are regularly steam cleaned too. Some shady spots. Has a Driver Reviver when open. Some traffic noise but on the whole a good place to spend a night

    Good spot for a night! Quite small and was busy by 5pm. Rubbish bins available. Really clean toilets with lots of toilet paper!

    Good spot especially for non-self contained vehicles, because of the facilities. Picnic tables are close to the road so pretty loud during dinner because of the passing roadtrains.
