IRONBARK REST AREA

Public BBQ

One of the better rest areas on the Hume, just north of Chiltern, set in bushland beside the railway line and far less crowded than the service centres either side of it. Two large undercover areas hold coin-operated barbecues, bins and tables, and there is shaded parking in the open as well as a little under cover. It is well lit at night, quiet after ten, and safe enough that plenty of people stop over in a van. Birdwatching is surprisingly good, and it is a fine spot if trains interest you. The toilets are the gamble: sometimes clean and freshly serviced, sometimes filthy, and they have been found locked in the middle of the morning with no number posted to report it.
