The longest stretch between mapped stops in a single state runs 342 km, from Bullarah to Collarenebri.

What this page can’t tell you

  • A shower in the table means one is recorded at the site — not whether it is hot or cold, free or coin-operated, or reserved for truck drivers. On a long drive those differences matter, so treat the column as “a shower exists here” and check on arrival.
  • The source does not record whether a toilet is a pit or a flushing block, whether the site is lit at night, or its current condition. A remote rest area can be a serviced block or a long-drop, and this data will not tell the two apart.
  • Overnight-stay limits at rest areas are typically 24 hours, but they are set by the road authority and vary — check the signage at the bay before you settle in.
  • The km to next figure is a straight-line distance between mapped stops, in the order they sort along the highway. It is not road distance, and where a highway curves or a source entry carries an off-highway location, a single hop can read longer than the drive really is.
  • In the table a check (✓) means the feature is recorded and a dash (–) means it is not recorded — not confirmed absent. And only stops in the National Public Toilet Map appear here, so a roadhouse or bay that never made the map will be missing.

Where this data comes from

Every stop above is drawn from the National Public Toilet Map, published by the Australian Government Department of Health from the dataset released on 28 January 2025 and imported into this site on 27 May 2025, used under the Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 Australia licence (CC BY 3.0 AU). The map carries no per-facility verification date, so a listing reflects what was recorded at import rather than a recent inspection.
