Information

Loop road through shady grassy rest area with very limited room for many vehicles to pull up. Seems a popular day time stop with coffee & food truck during day, fruit stand with honesty box and about 5 large thatched-roofed picnic shelters and regional history and tourist information signboards. Signed 20 hour traveller rest stop with toilets, bins, and taps but all warn “water not suitable for drinking.Bilyana Siding After the North Coast Railway was completed in 1924 stock could be moved in and out of the district by train. There were stockyards at Bilyana where cattle were held. Auction sales also took place. Before the days of large semi-trailers, bananas and other farm produce grown at Murray Upper and Bilyana were brought to this siding and loaded into railway trucks for southern markets.
