After hours of driving through the vast Australian landscape, the sight of Bon Bon Rest Area brings a wave of relief to many weary travellers. This free roadside haven offers a much-needed respite from the long journey, welcoming all manner of vehicles from nimble motorbikes to lumbering big rigs.

As you pull in, the first thing you’ll notice is the toilet bloch perched up off the grund. This is high on the ‘must visit list’ and hopefully they are clean—a true luxury on the open road. The area is thoughtfully designed to accommodate various travellers, with ample space for RVs, camper trailers and caravans to manoeuvre and park comfortably.

Dog owners can breathe easy, knowing their furry companions are welcome to stretch their legs and enjoy a brief run-about. The rest area’s open layout allows for giving them a quick walk whilst keeping an eye on your vehicle. There is undercover parking which feels luxurious as you leave the window down a little to let the breeze flow through.

Perhaps the most reassuring feature is the emergency phone, standing ready should any unforeseen circumstances arise. It’s a small detail that adds an extra layer of security to your journey through the remote Australian countryside.

Bon Bon Rest Area serves as more than just a pit stop; it’s a place to pause, recharge and appreciate the beauty of the surrounding landscape before continuing on your adventure.
