About this rest area

Coleambally Lions Park Rest Area is a tranquil stopover nestled in a modern town developed in the mid-20th century. The locale features picturesque surroundings paired with outstanding amenities including accessible toilets, BBQs, and ample shade. A distinct water tower graces the town, while a historic dragline, used in the construction of the MIA channels, creates an impressive display. The area is perfect for a relaxing break and picnic lunches.

Nestled in the newly-founded town of Coleambally, the Lions Park Rest Area stands as a symbol of the region's 20th-century irrigation advancement. It's graced by the imposing presence of a locally-historic dragline, one of the original four used to develop the MIA channels. Adding charm to the scene, a uniquely wine glass-shaped water tower contributes to the region's distinctive aesthetic. A visit to the park provides more than just a break from travel, it offers a glance at the past and a momentary assimilation with the local culture and history. So, next time you're in Coleambally, be sure to stop by for a leisurely lunch, a gentle nod to the past, and a restful respite under the shady retreats.
