What the data shows for the New England Highway
49 public toilets sit on or beside the New England Highway, across 34 named towns. In route order it runs through Queensland (11) and New South Wales (38), with New South Wales carrying the most. The busiest single stop is Rutherford, with 7.
The mix runs to 19 parks and reserves, 12 service stations, 7 highway rest areas and 2 cafes and food outlets. Among them are Errol Munt Recreation Centre on New England Highway (Margaret Street), Bullocky's Rest, Hampton and Shell Coles Express Highfields.
31 of the 49 are published as open 24 hours — among them Caltex Stanthorpe and Celtic Country Redbank Rest Area. 28 of the 49 are recorded as wheelchair accessible. 5 have showers, 1 has drinking water and 38 record parking. The longest stretch between mapped stops in a single state runs 528 km, from Rutherford to Woomargama.
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.
Frequently asked questions about the New England Highway
- How many public toilets are on the New England Highway?
- 49 public toilets are recorded on or beside the New England Highway between Yarraman and Woomargama. Only stops in the National Public Toilet Map are counted, so a roadhouse or bay that never made the map is not included.
- Are there 24-hour toilets on the New England Highway?
- 31 of the 49 mapped stops are recorded as open 24 hours. A recorded stop is not a guarantee it is open when you arrive, so confirm at the signage.
- Are there showers on the New England Highway?
- 5 of the 49 mapped stops record a shower. The data notes only that a shower exists, not whether it is public, hot, free, or truck-driver only.
- Are there caravan dump points on the New England Highway?
- 6 of the 49 mapped stops record a dump point for emptying a caravan or motorhome toilet cassette. The table marks them; the data does not say whether a fee applies or whether grey water is accepted.
- Which towns on the New England Highway have accessible toilets?
- 28 of the 49 mapped stops are recorded as wheelchair accessible. Towns with a recorded accessible toilet include Yarraman, Crows Nest, Hampton, Hodgson Vale and Stanthorpe.
- What is the longest stretch without a recorded toilet on the New England Highway?
- The longest recorded gap is 528 km, between Rutherford and Woomargama. That is a straight-line distance between mapped stops in a single state, not road distance, and a stop that never made the map would not count.
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.
