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.

Interesting little place, located between Kalgoorlie & Norseman, had a population of 6,000 now 1500 due to decline in mining. There's a 24hr free camp in town, friendly ranger who doesn't mind you staying for a few days if needed as there is no caravan park. There' a lookout on red hill rd, highest...
