    About Dubbo

    Dubbo is situated in the fertile Macquarie Valley where the Newell, Mitchell and Golden highways meet, five hours' drive from Sydney. Dubbo combines a rich pastoral history with great food and wine, expansive parklands, museums, galleries, art and crafts, and the famous Taronga Western Plains Zoo.

    Learn about Australia's pioneering history on a heritage walk, at an historic homestead, Victorian-era goal or modern cultural centre. Old Dubbo Gaol is now a museum and chilling reminder of Victorian-era prison life.

    Enjoy local produce including the red and white wines of this emerging wine region.
