Goyder: sleeping in your car

Council by-laws: unknown

Goyder's by-laws have not been read for this site, so this page makes no claim about them. At the state rest areas below, the State position applies: South Australia's road authority records that there is no State legislation prohibiting camping in rest areas, and that long term camping can therefore only be discouraged. Everywhere else in this area, treat the rule as unknown and obey signage.

Signs override this page. Whatever is signed at the site is the rule that applies, no matter what is written here.
