3. The Macquarie River
If you are a strong swimmer then there’s a couple of places where you can access the river. The easiest access if probably Sandy Beach. Take the first right off Macquarie Street heading South from LH Ford bridge, drive through Lady Cutler Park, past the cricket ovals, and down near the river you’ll find Sandy Beach.

Come on down to the local Farmer’s Markets and you’ll meet all kinds of locals out for a browse. The markets are on the first and third Saturdays of the month in Dubbo, usually in the park alongside the Tourist Information Centre at the North end of Macquarie Street, but in rainy whether they often move into the RSL undercover carpark.
You’ll find all sorts of Fresh Produce including fruit and vegetables, organic produce, poultry, saltbush lamb, olive oil, wine, sourdough bread, as well as fresh coffee and food. There are also usually plant stalls - including native plants, flowers and vegetable seedlings. On special occasions you may be lucky enough to see a cooking demonstration from a local cheff or some live jazz music.

A warm, arty coffee shop situated inside a nursery. I feel relaxed the moment I walk in.

In a nursery, on Wheelers lane, just north of the railway line.
It’s all about atmosphere. Not the best coffee, but wonderfully relaxing sitting in a garden atmosphere.
