Calliope River has Showers and toilets from memory (southside)

Just north of Gin Gin is a large stop with toilets and there is 2 at gympie, one on each side of town. Remember they fill up quick with the grey nomands because they are listed in the free camps book. Also there is one south of Sarina called camila beach about 20 km of the highway.

Main Roads website has the list, and if an RACQ member, they also have a map, and many websites have a list they like ... even freight companies have a good list of truck stops.
