Bonshaw Weir - 8k North Bonshaw, N.S.W.

On The Dumaresq River, approx 8k north of Bonshaw and 21k South East of Texas is the Bonshaw Weir and camping area. This relatively small area is suitable for about 10 caravans / motorhomes and has good shade trees, shelter sheds long drop toilets (TOILETS HAVE NOW BEEN REMOVED) (20th October 2010) and fire places. Nearby, a low level bridge crosses the river and the deep hole under the bridge may produce a couple of good fish. On the opposite side of the river are a couple of camping sites that are level and closer to the weir. These are accessed by crossing over the bridge and turning right about 100m and following the well defined tracks which are suitable for all rigs. Well off the main road, this quiet spot is recommended for a couple of nights stay. Texas has excellent hot showers in the main shopping centre (free) and a couple of good camping areas close to the town if you prefer the big city life.
