Flight Guide from Gladstone to Dubbo

Top Things to Do and See with Cheap Flights to Dubbo

Taronga Western Plains Zoo

Taronga Western Plains Zoo is one of the top attractions in Dubbo. It's a fantastic afternoon adventure for families buying flights to Dubbo. You can spend a few hours looking at a wide variety of endangered animals such as lemurs, big cats, rhinos and elephants. For travellers with more time, you can also sign up to take part in a range of activities, including feeding a giraffe or meeting the local meerkat population. If you don't want to rush and see everything in one day, you can buy tickets that are valid for two consecutive days.

Old Dubbo Gaol

For history buffs buying flights to Dubbo, you'll want to add the Old Dubbo Gaol to your itinerary. It's been around since the 1800s, and the exhibitions help to bring Australia's pioneering history to life. Your tour around the gaol will include tales of ghost sightings, and you'll get to experience solitary confinement. The gaol has also recreated the living conditions of inmates, and you can view real prison records.

Aladdin's Cave Bottlehouse

Aladdin's Cave Bottlehouse is only a short drive from Dubbo city centre, making it an easy attraction to visit once your flights to Dubbo have landed. Inside, you'll have more than 3,000 bottles that contain messages, photos, toys and treasures. Other interesting exhibitions include a heritage collection of old sewing machines, jugs, bikes and blacksmith tools. Young children will love exploring the fairy garden, and there's a ‘gumnut walk’ if you want to see the western Australian flowering eucalypts. It's a great outing for families booking plane tickets to Dubbo!

Dubbo Regional Theatre and Convention Centre

If you can, you should see a show at the Dubbo Regional Theatre while you're in town. The building features a 500-seat tiered theatre, and it hosts some of the best local performances as well as nationally touring shows. If you need an excuse to buy return flights to Dubbo, use one of the shows or a convention as a reason to visit!

Best Time To Visit on Cheap Flights to Dubbo

Dubbo experiences pleasant weather throughout the year, making it a great city to visit whenever you can. However, the optimal time to visit is usually late winter and spring. You'll miss the summer crowds, and you can enjoy milder temperatures. If you book flights to Dubbo in October, you'll be in time for the annual DREAM (Dubbo Regional Entertainment Arts and Music) Festival. It's one of the city's top events, and it attracts visitors from all over Australia.

As a result, prices for airfare to Dubbo will increase around this period. If you're planning on buying flights to Dubbo for a safari holiday at Taronga Western Plains, book your trip between late August and November. The cooler temperatures will make it easier to spend hours outside looking at all the different animals. Plus, you'll have an easy time finding cheap flights to Dubbo as those months are a shoulder season for the city. You can also expect lower rates at the city's top hotels.

Best time to visit Dubbo

When is The Best Time to Visit Dubbo?

The most popular time to visit Dubbo is in summer. From December to February, the weather is warm, reaching highs of 33°C. If you're planning your trip during this period, make sure you book flights and accommodation well in advance. Prices skyrocket during these months and hotels fill up fast.

If you want similar weather to the summer months without the price tag, come to Dubbo in spring. From September to November, the days average around 30°C and the crowds have yet to arrive. You'll have better luck finding deals on flights and hotels have yet to raise their prices to meet the high season demand.

Fall (March to May) and winter (June to August) are the quietest times of year to visit Dubbo. Rain is also rare making it a great time for outdoor activities without the heat of the summer months. If you book a few weeks in advance, you'll be able to find discounts on hotels, and you'll have the city's attractions to yourself.
