Has anybody stayed at this rest area lately (36km S of Miriam Vale). I just wondered if it is on Bruce Highway or is it off a ways.

I have to get a new set of tyres. I currently run Cooper Discoverys, but I'm disappointed. Yes they have deep treads, but once they get near the end of their life the wear very quickly. I'm 90% on tarmac and pull a 2.5 ton van with a Pathy. I would be interested to hear reader's views on the best tyres to get.
