The aptly named Oasis Roadhouse near the end of the Hann Highway and close to the Lynd Junction is undergoing renovations which will result in a new eatery that will likely be popular with truckies.
For the past 15 months Josh Storey has run the popular Queensland stop for truckies, which has five employees including two chefs, Nick, and Frenchman Tim who hails from Paris.
“There are plenty of meals here for truck drivers including steaks and the big breakfast. We provide huge serves which are reasonably priced,” Josh told Big Rigs.
NSW driver Ted Markwort stopped there in February and purchased a T-Bone steak with veggies.
“It was delicious and the staff were friendly,” Ted said.
The roadhouse has parking across the road for heavy vehicles and clean toilets and free showers for drivers.
It is open from 6am until 9pm and fuel is available 24/7.
“The new eatery will be on a deck and we intend having Friday and Saturday night events there during the football season,” Josh said.
Another feature of the roadhouse is Australia’s smallest licenced bar in which just three people can fit comfortably in.
Spy has been to the Oasis on many occasions but not for at least 10 years.
It was previously owned by the Royes family and before that by outback legend Bill Toohey.
