HINT ……..FOR ROAD TRAVEL IN AUSTRALIA.
Travelling from Brisbane Queensland to Melbourne Victoria I found that best place for toilet breaks was going to MacDonald or hungry jacks to use their disabled wash rooms which on the whole were clean and set up properly with easy access etc.
The state governments also have a site to access all the public toilets.
Great tip! Thank you.
