Rest Areas Listings

A Rest Area is a site that provides a traveller a place to take a break, get out of the car, have something to eat or drink, and dispose of your rubbish. Where possible, Rest areas are designed to be entered from the same side of the road as you are travelling and usually have a separate exit so you don’t have to turn around to get out again, but this is not always the case, so care should be taken in all cases.

Most rest areas have firm, all weather parking surfaces, picnic seats and rubbish bins.

Rest areas are not designed to be camping grounds or caravan parks. Using rest areas for multiple overnight stays as part of a planned itinerary is not in keeping with their intended purpose, unless otherwise stated. Those needing facilities for an extended stay are encouraged to look for camping areas or caravan parks in towns along the way.

Some Rest areas are especially designed for Heavy Transport and Truck Stopping Bays.  By law these vehicles must stop and rest in these locations.  We have noted this if that is the case.  Please be mindful not to remain overnight in a Truck Stopping bay, only use them in case of an emergency.
