ancientmariner Says: DUBBO'S MAGNIFICENT WESTERN PLAINS ZOOJust as I've seen the town grow at different stages I've also seen the Zoo grow from an ungainly young thing to now a magnificent adult and who knows how much better it may get in the future.Never been a "zoo" type of person, but at...

wayneconnor Says: Farmer’s MarketsThere are Farmer’s Markets every month in Dubbo, NSW. They are on the first and third Saturday of every Month, near the Tourist Information Centre. Fresh Produce, poultry, coffee, jams, preserves, Olive Oil, sourdough bread, etc.
wayneconnor Says: A ‘must see’ if you are in Dubbo. Make sure you allow a couple of days to see the Zoo. (A one day admission gets you in free for the second day too.)It’s best to go as early as you can and in cooler weather when the animals are awake. They slow down in the middle of the day...
CdnJane Says: When you are in Dubbo you cannot miss the Western Plains Zoo. It is a huge zoo and you will need to rent a bike, a cart, or take your car. At first I wasn't really thrilled with the zoo because there were too many animals that I could see back in Toronto, but then we got...

RSL Club - The Bistro: Good Price, and Then Lose Your Shirt on the Pokies
CdnJane Says: I'd be lying if I said that it really stood out in my mind clearly now. My friend introduced me to the joys of being able to get a reasonably priced meal, and then spend what you saved on drinks and the "pokies". To get into the RSL you must come from at least 15 kms away, I...

Once you get here by means other than car
aussiedoug Says: If you've arived by train or plane now you have the issue of getting around the environs of Dubbo city & surrounds.You have two options which are firstly to hire a car or secondly catch a taxi to get around. If you are only staying a brief time say a day then a cab may be...

Book Connection: Best Bibliophile Buying in Dubbo
aussiedoug Says: UNDER CONSTRUCTION WILL FINISH LATER!If you visit any Australian city or town in the country you'll usually be presented with a choice of either Angus & Robertson's or Dymocks or just one or the other.I love it when we visit a place to find there's a different bookshop to...
CdnJane Says: While you are at the zoo you may see some Emus wandering around free. Don't try approaching them - they are not friendly, and could do you some serious injury. All you have to do is to take one look at those beedy red eyes and just see malice lurking within. Use your...

Sweetberry1 Says: Travelling from South to North, I passed through some of this countries finest towns and cities. Wagga Wagga is just one of many, and I took this route just so I could see this city.Unfortunately, this city deserves a longer stay than I was able to give. A truely lovely...
Sweetberry1 Says: This trip I was spoilt with lots of colorful fields in full bloom.Canola was growing everywhere in NSW. especially the Dubbo region, and such a pretty sight it was.
Sweetberry1 Says: As far back as I can remember, Dubbo has always been a very popular city to visit. For this reason, it is wise to make advance bookings, especially accommodation.I always thought, because Dubbo has lots of great accommodation places, there is no need to book. 'Wrong' ...This...
