Drivers have complained to Spy that there is a genuine shortage of suitable rest areas for truckies along the Flinders Highway in Queensland.
One which seems to be a welcome sight for drivers travelling the 900km from Mount Isa to the coast is at Aleck Creek, about 50km from Julia Creek.
It has a shaded area with tables and chairs and a toilet block for the convenience of travellers, including truckies.
There is plenty of parking at most times.
A driver sent pics of the rest area to Spy and said he stops there when in the area.
“This is great and is new – I hadn’t seen if before and previously there was just a bit of dirt beside the highway,” he said.
“But now there is a toilet block with male, female and disabled facilities. Also the table and chairs are good. There is parking for about four road trains.”
