We have seen several of these on our travels but none have been manned. Still a good spot to pull up and rest awhile and usually there are toilets as well.
Just did some research about them and when they started thirty odd years ago, Bushells donated tea, coffee and biscuits. Back then, there were not the service centres along the highways and it was set up to reduce highway fatalities.
Mainly open during school holidays or long weekends they were run by service organisations. Free or a coin donation.
I think we have only used them twice, both times to show overseas visitors what they were about. We always make a thermos and have the makings for coffee with us if we are travelling long distances.
