    It’s a nice gravel patch were multiple parking spots are. But for the life of me I don’t get why the toilets are on the other side of the highway. Did have two bars Telstra service though.

    Quiet, toilets and non-potable water point on the other side of the road. Recommended for a road trip night.

    Literally just a lay-by separated from the highway with thatched lines. Toilets in okay condition though

    Campfires ? available. Quiet It is a large parking space. Truckers park their trailers there. Toilets ? in front, you have to cross the road So reserved for ? autonomous vehicles. Too bad there are so many toilet papers ? in the grass, it's easy to put them in your trash.

    Fine for an overnighter, just take own loo paper and the toilet door closest to the road has obviously been on the wrong end of a drive by shooting so if that puts the wind up you maybe not so fine haha. We had no dramas though.

    Good free camping spot, only 7 other campers when we were there, quiet but safe feeling (2 female travellers). Toilets across the road, I thought they were pretty decent! Wind rushes through a bit. Look at the stars at night here - incredible!

    Nice place to stay for the night. A bit windy when we were here. No traffic noise/quiet road. Hardly any phone signal but could get some by toilets across the road. Toilets are accessible for wheelchairs. Road is not busy so no trouble crossing the road. No drinking water. Bins available.
