There really is NOT much to see at Breelong Rest Area, and certainly the capital cities that are indicated on the Orientation Table are NOT visible [SORRY flat-earthers!!] The concrete stand of the Orientation Table also holds a Community Commemoration plaque, for the 100 year anniversary for the tragic murders of some of the Mawbey family in 1900; along with being a Commemoration of 50 years of the Gilgandra Rotary Club in 1999. The Cities, and local sites indicated, in a clockwise direction from North are:
