Travelling between Dubbo and Wellington on the Mitchell Highway turn into Mitchell Street and follow this road toward Ponto. You’ll cross the Macquarie River a few kilometres later (this is Scabbing Flat Reserve – see previous entry). Take the Terrabella Road turnoff and Peach Tree Reserve is about 2 km from the turnoff on the right hand side. There are two turn-offs. When we visited the second one had just been graded!

Good. Sealed roads to the turn-off. First turn-off into the reserve can be challenging! Try the second.
OK, with care.
Difficult away from the beach area.
There are no facilities provided. This is a Travelling Stock Route – see Glove box guide for conditions of use.
Very popular with the locals for Easter and other holiday periods. The reserve has a great beach facing a short, riffle run. Away from this the fishing is generally good, downstream especially.
