Dubbo is a service City and features a broad range of accommodation, restaurants, boutique wineries, recreation, health, education, children’s and sporting facilities. The first Europeans in the area were the party of John Oxley who passed the future site of Dubbo in 1818. Oxley noted the quality of the soil, the water supply and the abundance of wildlife, including howling dingoes which kept him awake at night. At that time the Wiradjuri people were said to be in occupation of the land. The first permanent settler was Robert Dulhunty - described as one of the colony's wealthiest citizens - who departed Penrith with a party of some 40 Aboriginal guides some time between 1829 and 1833, choosing grazing land which he named 'Dubbo' just to the south of the present town site. It is certain he took the word from the local Aborigines but its meaning is entirely unclear. The village of Dubbo was planned and proclaimed in 1849 with the first land sales taking place in 1850 (Dulhunty's estate subsequently became known as 'Old Dubbo'). Dubbo's first newspaper went into print in 1866, the first bank opened in 1867 and the first hospital was built in the late 1860s. Jean Serisier established a vineyard in 1868 which became one of the largest in the colony in the 1870s. Gold, coal, chalk, copper, diamonds and other precious stones were also mined in commercial quantities in the district. A tannery and a wool- scouring works were opened in 1873. By the time Dubbo became a municipality in 1872 it had a population of some 850 people and it had become the major manufacturing and service centre to much of western NSW. The arrival of the railway (and a railway bridge) in 1881 further contributed to Dubbo's importance. By that time it had 29 hotels, three breweries and a population of 3199, although the railway precipitated further settlement and population growth. Thomas Alexander Browne served as police magistrate at Dubbo from 1881 to 1884. As 'Rolf Boldrewood', he wrote what is considered one of Australia's first novels of any note, Robbery Under Arms, which was published in serial form while he was still at Dubbo. Dubbo has grown considerably since World War II, almost doubling its population between 1947 and 1971, and doubling it again since 1971. Dubbo was declared a city in 1966. 3 A Better Life DubboThe Shopping Capital of the West Things you need to know (Facts and Figures) The Climate of Dubbo ranges from a summer climate of 17 - 33 degrees to 2 - 15 degrees in the winter months. Dubbo is located on the Macquarie River, 264 metres above sea-level and 412 km north-west of Sydney at the intersection of the Mitchell and Newell Highways. Sydney is 5.30 hours from Dubbo. Another large city close to Dubbo is Orange, which is 151.27 kilometres or 1.54 hours and also Broken Hill which is 752.45 kilometres or 8.27 hours. Dubbo is only a four hour drive from Newcastle and Canberra and a 10 hour drive from Melbourne and Brisbane. So you are never isolated when you live in Dubbo. The increasing importance of Dubbo is reflected in its population growth. In the past 35 years the city has grown from a population of base of 20,629 in 1971 to nearly 40,000 in 2007. The City has a strong reputation for its successful and innovative approach to the development of its economy.

This paper is published by Rural Press Limited. There is also a weekly local paper called the Photo News, which is a free paper available in the town. This paper is published by Panscott media. Both Digital and 3G mobile phone networks work in Dubbo, with the 3G network being the most reliable, particularly if you need to travel further west. For some reason, Telstra’s Next G network seems to have better cover than other providers the further west you head. This may change as the network grows. Dubbo is currently serviced by Telstra,

    78 PRESIDENTIAL ADDRESS "AUSTRALIA AND HER NAVIGATORS" [By the President, COMMANDER NORMAN S. PIXLEY, C.M.G., M.B.E., V.R.D., Kt.O.N., F.R.Hist.S.Q.] (Read at a Meeting of the Society on 24 September 1970.) Joseph Conrad in his writings, refers to "The mysteriously born traditions of seacraft, command, and unity in an occu­ pation in which men's lives depend on each other." Still true today, how much more was this so with the mariners of long ago, who sailed in smaU ships for thousands of lonely leagues through unknown seas, for on them alone rested the safety of the ship and all on board. Dr. Johnson wrote "No man will be a saUor who has con­ trivance to get himself into jaU, for being in a ship is being in a jail with the chance of being drowned." There was more than an element of truth in this, for the seaman who refused to sail could be clapped in jail; whUst THE PRESIDENT, COMMANDER NORMAN S PIXLEY 79 those who did sail faced months in a confined space with acute discomfort, severe punishment at times, and provisions and water which deteriorated as the voyage proceeded. Scurvy kiUed more than storm and shipwreck until James Cook in his first voyage proved that it could be prevented. Clothing was rarely changed, the sailor coming wet to his hammock from his watch on deck in bad weather. Rats and cockroaches lived and thrived amongst the pro­ visions, adding to the problems of hygiene and health.

The Museum has been closed since the 19th March but the good news is we are “open” again as of Monday 15th June. There will be a lot of challenges for the volunteers with new regulations but it will be so nice to see visitors once again. Even though the Museum has been closed, work still goes on. Some displays have been upgraded and new ones added. Earlier in the year all the Museums in Townsville worked on a combined Museums Brochure so visitors to the City will have all the information available in one brochure so they can plan tours of each one. Townsville has 5 Museums – Townsville Museum, Army Museum, RAAF Museum, Maritime Museum, Museum of Tropical Queensland and a Family History John Oxley, n.d. association.

  • Thomas Mitchell and His Aboriginal Guides
    Exploring with Aborigines: Thomas Mitchell and his Aboriginal guides D.W. A. Baker Thomas Mitchell first arrived in Australia in 1827 as Deputy Surveyor General. He was skilful and experienced having served as a military surveyor in Wellington's army in Portugal and Spain and having spent five years after the war making surveys and plans of the main battlefields on which the British army had fought. He had also published in London a book entitled Outlines of a System of Surveying for Geographical and Military Purposes. So Mitchell combined practical experience with a theoretical understanding of the process of surveying. He was, perhaps, uniquely well equipped to begin the first scientific survey of a British colony. His four predecessors in the office of Surveyor General had measured land grants, set out some Sydney streets and charted segments of the coastline but had done nothing to produce a general map of the colony by which alone the many land grants could be reconciled one with another. A general map entailed covering the colony with a series of triangles calculated precisely by the use of a theodolite. None of the earlier surveyors had even attempted this task. When Mitchell arrived in Sydney there was not a theodolite in the colony fit for use but he managed to repair two damaged ones and then began the work of trian­ gulation.1 By 1827, Mitchell's immediate predecessor, John Oxley, was dying so Mitchell at once became de facto Surveyor General and lost little time in triangulating the country southwards from Sydney as far as Lake George where he set out as accurately as he could a base line from which to calculate the distances between his trig points.
