Avon Downs Rest Area - NT

Had a no camping sign when we drove past September 2019

We were quite disgusted at the state of the rest area at Avon Downs NT when we passed through the area in early May. There was no toilet paper, dirt everywhere in the toilet enclosure, the hand basin was rather dirty, and it looked like nothing at the site had been cleaned for a long time. Rubbish bins were overflowing. I am aware that this rest area is in the middle of nowhere. May we suggest that the station owner or staff at the police station across the road could be paid some money to keep the area clean. It would certainly need to improve before we would stop there again. I have written to you as I am unaware which organisation is responsible for keeping rest areas clean. If you can provide this information I would be happy to contact the appropriate authority to make a comment. Thank you.

June 2011...Good reverse in sites, usually full by sunset, great scenery at James River waterhole, magic sunrise & sunsets
