Tell us: what is your favourite Australian road trip pit stop?
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?
