Narrabri to Dubbo road trip: Distance, drive time & best stops
Narrabri to Dubbo drive attractions: Mendooran and Dubbo
From Coonabarabran to Dubbo, the quickest route is off the Newell Highway. Head down Mendooran Road instead. Dairy town Mendooran is worth a stop, as its buildings are covered in murals depicting country life. You’ll then continue through the Goonoo State Conservation Area towards Dubbo.
The best things to do in Dubbo ghost tours at the Old Dubbo Gaol, the Royal Flying Doctors Visitor Centre and stargazing at the Dubbo Observatory.
Meanwhile, the safari-style Taronga Western Plains Zoo (BOOK HERE) offers unusual overnight zoo accommodation.
Less quirky Dubbo accommodation options include the handily central Palms Dubbo Inn, family-focused Discovery Parks Dubbo and the well-equipped Cattleman’s Country Inn and Serviced Apartments.
