Dubbo 8 – 9 September 2015

Drove onto Dubbo and settled into a camp run by another CMCA member. Peter remembers going to Dubbo to help out from a big flood and a damaging cyclone when he was in the SES, but there is no evidence of damage now and it is an attractive and thriving rural centre for western NSW. Went out to Dubbo Zoo for morning tea and then visited Dundullimal, an old property from the 1830’s.

It has the original homestead, stables, worksheds, gardens, wells and even an old timber church. The National Trust have done a great job in restoring the buildings and the grounds and have even built a café in the style of the heritage buildings, which serves delicious meals.

We camped on the property of a fellow CMCA member in a large paddock covered in bright yellow daisies – felt quite surreal.
