About this rest area

The Grange Burn Picnic Area is a serene, conservation-oriented site featuring a fascinating platypus habitat. With secure BBQ facilities and picnic tables, it embodies the perfect family-friendly environment. Its notable attraction, Australia's first Anzac Avenue, exudes historical significance, alongside the preserved steam locomotive adding a touch of industrial heritage. However, it's only accessible to smaller vehicles due to restrictive parking facilities. It's a must-visit for nature and history enthusiasts alike.

There are sheltered BBQs and picnic tables and bins. There is a steam locomotive preserved here with a walkway that allows you to get up close to this K177 loco. There is no caravan parking here, but there is a small circular car park that most motorhomes and campervans could use. The street is not wide enough for parking on.
