History

A man called John Oxley from Yorkshire, England was the first European to report on the city we now know as Dubbo. However, the first European settler in the area was an English man called Robert Dulhunty.

The word Dubbo is said to come from the Wiradjuri language. It should be spelt and pronounced Thubbo, though. Dubbo is home to Dundullimal Homestead, which is a farmhouse built in 1840. It’s one of the oldest buildings still standing in western NSW today.
