Rest areas are there for you to stop and rest, making your trip safer and more enjoyable.
Rest areas are not long-term camping areas. However motorists are able to take extended rest breaks at certain sites.
Rules on the length of stay at rest areas vary between controlling authorities. You can stay up to 20 hours, including overnight, at some Main Roads' rest areas. They help you manage fatigue.
Heavy vehicle rest areas are for rest and safety of truck drivers. Caravans are not considered heavy vehicles, and should not stop at these locations.
