The best glamping pods near Dubbo guide
When to go
Summer in Dubbo can be baking hot but dry, while winter can be very chilly but perfect for campfires. Spring and autumn are delightful times to visit with many events taking place during school holidays. Cool days are best for zoo visits, as the animals tend to sleep when it’s hot out.
Know before you go
- Hit the Dubbo Farmers Market on the first and third Saturday of every month, open from 8am till around midday.
- Cutting through the centre of Dubbo, the Macquarie River features several pretty river beaches that beat a swimming pool any day.
- The Wellington Caves feature a lot of steps, so they’re not very stroller-friendly. The Phosphate Mine, however, is wheelchair- and pram-accessible.
- Allow a full day to visit the zoo if you want to see everything. If you’ve got bicycles, the Tracker Riley Cycleway is a rail trail that runs in a 13-km loop from Dubbo town centre out to the zoo and back.
