Dundullimal

A visit to the National Trust's Dubbo property, Dundullimal is a special experience which allows visitors to step back into rural life in the early colony. Its story is one of amazing endeavour and vision, evidenced in the creation of a finely crafted, albeit rustic home when the land was beyond the limits of settlement.

Built in the early 1840s as the head station of a 6,500 hectare squatting run, the homestead is Dubbo's oldest building open to the public. Its interior is remarkably sophisticated for its genre, and is an interesting contrast to the traditional sandstone stables complex and shed. The buildings, yards and machinery reflects the practical yet essential elements of rural life on a large, isolated property during the nineteenth century.

The property is open Tuesday 10am-4pm plus extra dates. Group bookings welcome at any time. Please call for details. Dundullimal is located 2km past the Western Plains Zoo. Turn left at the council reserve "Dundullimal".
