If u you like trucks or straight long rides that BP station is for you !
http://www.exploroz.com/Places/76724/QLD/Townsville_BP_Truckstop.aspx
To get there u you can catch a bus from CBD (207,208,209) to Oonoonba or Wulguru and ask the driver to tell u you where to get off for BP station (u you will have to walk there maybe five more minutes).
The trucks pullover pretty much 24h though the best time is from early morning till 7-8pm.
From my observation '''Blunners''' trucks are going south-north directions. Trucks with loader (like for sand or smthsomething) are mostly going West and '''Lidsay''' goes mostly North. The rest u you just have to ask. There are also passenger cars coming in during the day so try them too !I used this stop few times and once I was waiting just 2 hours the other time 14 so it depends on ur your luck :)Dont Don't walk around the station, stay near the entrances and ask drivers on the way out as the staff will get annoyed otherwise.Sometimes u can take a shower if the truckies truckers will leave the door open at the facilities (normally u need a key)If u you will get stuck over the night go behind the parking space. There will be a building with some grass and gravel behind it, i I slept there and it was okOK. Be patient as a lot of truckies truckers will say that they cant can't pick u you up because of the insurance policy bullshit. Sooner or later u you will get a ride ! Good luck ! ==Hitchhiking In==
