Much like many of its regional contemporaries, Dubbo offers a multitude of activities to suit all demographics.
My brother and I spent two days in Dubbo recently yet we could have easily spent more. Considering me missed the two main tourist attractions in The Western Plains Zoo and The Old Dubbo Gaol. Then there are always the nearby country towns with their own attractions.
I have pumped up Dubbo now, but our main purpose there wasn’t exploration, that was merely a bonus. Rather we went to connect with family whom we previously had little interaction. That was the highlight of the trip. Not to detract from Dubbo at all.
While attractions weren’t high on our agenda we still managed to get around to some. The Western Plains Cultural Centre was impressive and also free. It had some great displays on local history, their aboriginal heritage and also works of art from local artists.
There are many wineries in Dubbo. Most needed bookings and suited groups. We found one called Red Earth. They had a great selection and could not leave without taking home some local product.
We stayed at the Formula One Motel, as it was simple and cheap. Given different company I would probably go more upmarket.
I recommend a holiday to regional New South Wales. Get out of the city or suburbs to slow down and relax.

When visiting regional centres, it is mandatory that you stay at the pub. Have a meal there and a beer, meet some locals, and stay the night. Best way to do it. If you stay at hotels, all you see are tourists. This advice comes from some experience working for a few days in regional areas.
