Western Plains Zoo

That’s probably why you came! Allow 2 days to have a look around (One entry pass gets you in for two days) and try to get in an early morning is a walk if you can. (Google Map)

Old Dubbo Gaol

Great for the kids and well worth a morning or afternoon. If you’ve made the trip to jail don’t go away without seeing the zoo. In School Holidays there are regular re-enactments with local actors – great fun.(Google Map)

Dundulimal Homestead

On the outskirts of Dubbo – it makes a good half day trip.(Google Map)

The Japanese Gardens and Dubbo Botanic Gardens

Well worth a look – allow at least an hour to tour the gardens and surrounding biodiversity gardens. (Google Map)

Wellington Caves

Just 40 minutes from Dubbo, on the road back to Sydney, it’s well doing a tour. (Google Map)
