صاحبخبر - Left off the highway and then first right, and then down that long laneway behind the big car park. It’s only a few minutes off the beaten track but the homemade tomato relish on the bacon and egg roll makes it absolutely worthwhile.
Some road-trippers are very attached to their special little pit stops. Service centres are convenient multipurpose pullovers, but they’re not the only option for breaking up a journey. On Australia’s highways there are some perfectly placed options for pit stops that don’t require a massive detour.
As holidaymakers prepare for the summer road trip season, we’re asking readers to share the highway and motorway pit stops you swear by that are on or not too far off the beaten track.
Where do you stop to break your long road journey? Is it a great short bushwalk just off the Western Freeway? A pie shop on the Princes Motorway? Or a fruit stand on the Federal Highway that’s always got fresh produce?
