ABOUT DUBBO
Dubbo is a regional city located in Central West New South Wales. It is where the Newell (North- south), Mitchell (East – West) and Golden (East) highways meet. Dubbo is established on both sides of the banks of the majestic Macquarie River, in the heart of the beautiful Macquarie Valley. Dubbo has a growing population of approximately 44,000 people.
Dubbo’s rich cultural history began with the Wiradjuri People, Dubbo’s name ‘Dhubbu’ is named after the Womens’ ceremonial morning cap. The waterways of the Dubbo Region have always held a special significance to the Wiradjuri people. The Macquarie rivers’ traditional name is Wambuul meaning ‘Winding River”, the ebb and flow of the Wambuul through Dubbo provided many ceremonial sites and gathering places.
