Richard Best Memorial Park and Rest Area

Historical Sites and Heritage Locations

Described as unduly lavish in 1877, the restored former Warra Railway Station was relocated to the Richard Best Memorial Park on the Warrego Highway and provides a lovely frontage to the rest area. The park offers an overnight rest area with a 48-hour maximum stay (donations of AUD5 per night are appreciated). Modern new clean facilities have been erected and are conveniently located behind the old Railway Station building.

The park is also home to the Warra Progress and Heritage Society, old Warra Jail, Homebush windmill, heritage tractor and the historic Haystack School building utilised from 1910 to 1968.

You will find the local Warra Hotel across the highway, where you can enjoy a cold beverage and meet the locals. The hotel is generally open over the weekend.
