Has anyone stayed at Marthaguy Rest Area (Newell Highway 13kms south of Gilgandra)? Not worried about noise. Passed a rest area one night and it was lit up like Luna Park.

Always interesting to read about the great mystery of fuel pricing. Diesel delivered to my Farm this week $1:13 litre. And the fuel agent travels 200 iks to deliver, and is making a nice profit. Tonight on the radio diesel out at newnam way $ 3:45 litre. Don't tell me we don't get ripped off!. Yanks on i...
