Rest Area Toilets in South Australia

11 public toilets at highway rest areas are recorded in South Australia, out of 602 nationally. That makes it the seventh-largest state total, behind New South Wales (269), Queensland (134), Western Australia (84), Victoria (74), Northern Territory (15) and Tasmania (15). They sit in 10 named towns.

Only Monarto South records more than one, with 2.

Named listings include Olary Rest Area, Ranges View Rest Area, Lucindale 4 Mile Parking Bay and Railway Terrace.

Of the 11, all have parking on site, 10 are published as open 24 hours and 1 has drinking water. None of them has a shower. Set against the 2,067 listings in South Australia, that is a 1% share, rising to 1% among the 24-hour listings.

6 of the 11 are recorded as wheelchair accessible — among them Nairne Rest Stop and Bouchee Walk. 1 of the 11 has a baby-change table, and every one of those sits at a site that is also wheelchair accessible.

10 of the 11 are published as open 24 hours — including Hawker Rest Area Dump Point and Peramangk Rest Area. 1 opens in daylight hours only. 1 publishes no weekly hours at all, so treat it as unknown rather than open.

Nothing here records a charge at the door. Rest area entries come from the highway stopping places in the National Public Toilet Map. The dataset records the toilet, not the bay: it does not say whether a site is signposted for heavy vehicles, how long you may stay, or whether the stop is lit at night. All of the counts above are read from the National Public Toilet Map rather than checked in person.
