If coming from the Nevertire direction turn right at the round-about and follow this road – Dubbo Street, which then becomes Ellengerah Road – for about 5kms until you see the sign. If coming from Carinda – proceed through the round-about in the centre of town. The area can also be accessed from the northern side of the river. Take the Wambianna Road toward Narromine for approximately 4 kms and turn right over cattle grid with a white gate posts. A dirt track of about 1-2 kms from there takes you to below the weir.
31°44’5.32″S, 147°51’59.60″E
Road access is good although not sealed once you turn off Ellengerah Road. The road is closed during wet weather. On the northern side the same applies once you turn off Wambianna Road, exercise caution if wet.
Not recommended on the upstream side – see warning notes. If you want to launch a small boat onto the river below the weir, entry should be gained from the northern side – check water height first!
Ok below weir on beach area.
Great place for a picnic or bar-b-que (wood fired). They are bins but no toilets.
Warning signs advise that ***Swimming, fishing or boating anywhere near the weir – above or below it – is extremely dangerous***. There is a cycleway and walking track from town. The weir has a fishway to help native species move upstream for breeding etc.
