Chaffey Dam is unique in inland NSW for its distinctive brick-red rock wall made of semi-precious stone and its unusual morning glory spillway. The lake and its foreshores are a popular destination for water sports and fishing enthusiasts, nature lovers, bushwalkers, campers and picnickers. The main purpose of the dam is to supply irrigation and stock needs in the Peel River Valley of northern NSW, and to supply water to the city of Tamworth. Camp sites are available on the lake foreshore at Bowling Alley Point Recreation Reserve. 

Nundle

Great little town. We toured the Nundle Woollen Mill (which was terribly interesting and refreshing to see ie taking raw material, manufacturing products and selling them), had lunch at the The Peel Inn and then traveled up to Hanging Rock Lookout. Another great day!
