Have been to Dubbo about 4 times over the last 30 years & seen it grow from just another dry dusty largish inland town to what it is today and what I refer to in my page title, a bit of a surprise package. I say this because I think Bathurst & Orange, the two major towns you pass through on the way along the Mitchell Highway to Dubbo, have probably always been a little prettier & more interesting.
Dubbo today boasts not only an excellent Zoo, the Western Plains Zoo, but also a variety of other attractions that will help you fill out anything from a weekend's stay up to a week's stay.
It is now one of the biggest inland towns with a population now nudging 40 000.
- Pros:Excellennt Zoo & other interesting attractions
- Cons:Long drive from where I live.
- In a nutshell:Have to see the Western Plains Zoo

Shame you don't share more information on Australia. Such promising work.
Like the Easter Bilby bit Mike! Doug & I'll have to take the girls back here again some time soon.
At last a good write up about our terrific Zoo. Yep, I like that word, "Magnificent". Good stuff Mike, come visit again!
Have to agree with soulfulsurfer. Also like your intro. Just enough info to fill us in about the town. Thanks Mike from Port!
Excellent & accurate start Mike. What else do you have to share about Dubbo & what about our common hometown Port Macquarie?
Like what you've said about Zoos Mike & yes this is a good one for the reasons you've pointed out. I agree on both counts!
Good writing in both your intro & tip Mike. Who knows, between you & aussiedoug I might even be inspired to write my own Dubbo page & tips!
Must agree with Sorin, Mike. Excellent start & please tell us more, you must have a story or two to share from your past visits.
Excellent start, Mike! Looking forward for the continuation. Sorin
Gr8 start Mike me old mate, old salt! I've only been 2x in the last 20 years & couldn't agree more with both your intro & tip. Gee we might even see some Port & North Haven tips now. lol!
