Hi,
My name is Wayne.
We’ve been living in Dubbo just over 4 years. Our favourite place in Dubbo is the Zoo, especially having lunch under the gum trees with the giraffes. We also go to Victoria Park a lot for picnics, we have 4 children under 10.
Hi, my name is Diane.
We are looking at relocating to Dubbo from New Zealand. Thanks for the information about the town. I found it very insighful. You paint a good picture.
Hi I’m Mix, I lived in Dubbo for 5 years but have now moved away for work. I just thought you might be interested in the below…
A major sporting event will held in Dubbo next weekend with teams from all over NSW and interstate, most people in Dubbo will never notice and that’s the way we like it.
Its called Geocaching - a high-tech treasure hunt where you track down caches hidden by other players. All that is needed to play is a portable Global Positioning System, access to the internet and a sense of adventure. The sport is growing, with over 7,000 caches in Australia. Usually the sport is played solo or in small teams, with the focus on quiet enjoyment of the environment. It is organised on the internet at websites like geocaching.com.au . This weekend’s event in Dubbo has been planned for 12 months as a chance for geocachers to get together and catch up as well as get out and go geocaching together. Most of the visiting teams will camping out together for the whole weekend, and while there will be a little bit of a competitive element with major prizes donated by Globalsat (http://www.globalsatgps.com.au/) the main focus will be on socializing and enjoying the local outdoor environment. A similar event last year saw 50 people visit Dubbo and many of those coming this year are repeat visitors from last year or have heard from those who were here last year how great the Geocaching is in Dubbo.

Hi, I am trying to source a tv programme (Channel?) from 2004 or early 2005 when I lived in Australia. It was about a man (Henry?) from a small town poss Dubbo who was actually the legal heir to the british throne. Very well researched and backed up by english experts. I hope someone can help me as I am not particularly internet savvy!
