20km north of Parkes on the Newell Highway, 100km south of Dubbo.
The Dish Cafe is one of a few squillion places to eat with the word 'dish' in their name, but in this case the reference relates to the hugely awesome (64-metre) radio telescope dish located next door.
The olds will thank you for finding the best cup of coffee in the district and while they get a caffine fix, you can take a look at the interesting stuff in the Visitor's Centre.
Then, whilst they are downing their second cup, it will be time to claim your reward for finding something 'of cultural and scientific significance' by requesting a yummy deep dish pie ( baked daily on the premises), or a toasted sambo, or an icecream - yum!
