Jones’ Creek Reserve
About the site:

A great birding spot, with remnant Cypress and grassy Yellow Box woodlands along Jones’ Creek. Watch for Leaden Flycatchers, Wedge-tailed Eagles, Red-chested Button Quail and Speckled Warblers.

How to find the site(s):

Head out the Dunedoo Road (Golden Highway) from Dubbo. Turn left onto the Old Mendoran Road approximately 12km from Dubbo. This will take you over the Talbragar River. Continue 8.5km from the river and the access to the Reserve will be on the right (east). This can be difficult to spot, so keep an eye out for the large green reserve sign. There is a single road in and vehicle turning area near the entrance. Best to walk in rather than drive down to the creek.
