Dundullimal Homestead Dubbo
CLOSED THROUGHOUT FEBRUARY EACH YEAR....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, which has survived in near original condition at a time 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, with louvre and multiple-paned glazing opening onto the verandah. The imposing sitting room is noted for its ‘tent’ shaped plaster ceiling, and wallpaper reproduced from an 1850 patent. The master bedroom is complete with iron bed and campaign chest.
Function centre/cafe/shed gallery for weddings, exhibitions, conferences and parties.
