Oxley Downs is no longer open to the public.
I’ve listed here because they do open for special events and if you have a large group that you’d like to book in they may show you around.
Oxley downs is a country farmhouse outside of Dubbo that is a film set created for the TV series ‘Outback House’, a replica 1861 Sheep Station. Scott and Liz Tourle, the property owners, have a wealth of interesting information and trivia about the history of the place and the filming of the series.
Feel free to contact Scott and Liz on 02 6887 7264 or you can make private bookings on their website at oxleydowns.com.au.
Here’s how to find it:

Website published here for Oxley Downs isn’t resolving for me.
You are right, it is not workng. It is the correct address, I checked it when I made the entry, so we’ll give it a week or so and see if the site fixes itself, then I’ll remove it. Sorry about that.
The website is okay – we haven’t had any problems with it at all. The link worked, Wayne. We had a very successful long weekend with lots of positive feedback. We are looking forward to our next opening on the 11th and 12th of November when a few participants of the television series “Outblack House” will be visiting
