Peachester is a rural village on the eastern slopes of the Conondale Range, 25 km west of Caloundra. The Stanley River has a U-shaped course through Peachester, flowing east and then west until emptying into Lake Somerset. It is thought that Peachester was named after peach trees found growing beside a crossing on the Stanley River. The name was given when a town was surveyed at the crossing in 1888.
