Dunedoo
Set amongst the rolling
hills and valleys striding the Talbragar River, Dunedoo is the perfect place
for a relaxing stopover. Enjoy a picnic beneath the mature trees in the
lovely landscaped recreation area of OL Milling Park, which runs almost the
entire length of the main street. The Park features a safe playground,
sheltered BBQ’s and amenities.
Dunedoo is located at the junction of the Golden and Castlereagh Highways
and is the southern gateway to Warrumbungle National Park. The town’s close
proximity to the wine growing region of Mudgee (90 kilometres south) and
regional centre of Dubbo (61 kilometres west), make it the ideal place to
stretch your legs, wander the main street or enjoy a meal in one of the
classic country pubs, takeaway stores or cute cafés.
There are also plenty of sporting activities to undertake during your stop
in Dunedoo. The town also has a 9 hole golf course, bowling club, tennis
court, swimming pool and squash centre. It also has polocrosse and motocross
events during the year.
Pronounced Dunny-doo, the town is often recognised for its unique colloquial
name. The name is said to derive from the local Wiradjuri Aboriginal name
for swans, which once frequented the nearby lagoons, although some suggest
it has Scottish origins.
