At the Junction of the Newell and Mitchell highways, is the thriving centre
of the Western Plains area. First settled in the 1840's when a store was opened
on the banks of the Maquarie River by Jean Emile de Bouillon Serisier it became
a stopping point for settlers heading out in search of a "better land"
and for cattle mobs being herded south to the Victorian markets of the day.
Go ahead city with wide streets and many colonial building as well as modern structures. The most imposing is the 1880’s Classical court house with its massive columns and pediment. A beautiful bank building houses a museum while the Commercial Hotel was the community’s second hostelry when built in 1859.
| Dubbo has many fine old buildings including the National Trust's Dundullimal Homestead, and the 1876 bank which now houses a good local museum |
One
of the main attractions of Dubbo is the world renowned Western Plains Zoo
which presents over 800 exotic and native animals in large open exhibits,
landscaped to recreate their natural habitat.
