There’s a great new playground just opened in Dubbo, at the East side of Victoria Park, behind the Swimming Pool, not too far from the skate park.
It’s great for all ages, with all kinds of unusual swings and things to play and climb on.

We were down at Newtown Providores again this week, and I must say it really is one of Dubbo’s gems. The smell, the sounds, the friendliness, the atmosphere, it’s like stepping into a different world. You simply must check it out!
Newtown Providores is one of Dubbo’s greatest small business success stories, a gourmet deli that has absolutely everything that Coles and Woolworths doesn’t.
Buffalo cheese, goats cheese, every cheese under the sun, vanilla pods, herbs and spices, more herbs and spices, exotic pasta, chunky red pesto dip, sourdough bread, french truffles, salad dressings, organic chicken, the best ham in Dubbo (by a long mile), home made muffins, kaffir lime leaves, and the list goes on, and on, and on!
If you visit, make sure you leave plenty of time for a browse of the wares and a chat to the friendly staff. It’s the brainchild of Peter Davis, a man as passionate about his food as he is about science, and let me tell you, Peter is passionate about his science!
They also serve great coffee and generally have a copy of the local paper to read.
It’s at 62 Wingewarra Street, ph 6882 0055.
Peter also runs a coffee float at every Farmer’s markets.
