Grafton is about half way. The highway south of that has undergone a vast upgrading. Most of the good rest areas have gone and nothing has replaced them yet.
There is Half Way Creek (27 km S of Sth
Grafton.) I'm not sure of its current status. There was a good large
parking area to the east of the Coles
Shell service centre plus some other ground that was used as a camping ground. The main roads
rest area may be back in operation, it's just after the SS.
