About this campsite

Henty Rest Area: An Illuminating Stopover Point for a Bit of Australian History. Here, where the modern grain harvester was invented by Headlie Taylor in 1914. This rest area provides a snapshot into our industrial past, with a display of 20th-century Australian farm machinery inventions featured prominently. It’s a convenient stopover housing clean amenities such as easily accessible restrooms, sheltered BBQ, and picnic tables. Located besides the Headlie Taylor Blacksmith Shop display, it offers an immersive and unique experience for visitors stopping by. Although space within the rest area may be limited, the wide-stretching road around provides secure lanes on both sides and sufficient room for large vehicles. For those needing them, a dump point is situated across the railway line in town - a mere 300 metres away. As its location provides easy access to the showground, Henty Rest Area is a recommended spot for a break on your journey.
