Dubbo 1981-2021

Forty years ago today we went to the Western Plains Zoo and Old Dubbo Gaol.  Full entry of that trip is here.

Before we went to the zoo Dad took a photo of the Court House.  Look at that palm tree go!

Then we biked around the zoo.  I don't have exact replicas of the photos, but they're sorta close.

After biking around the zoo all day we went to the Old Dubbo Gaol.  I don't know how we were still standing as kids.  Stu and I biked around the zoo last month and were pretty worn out by the time we had to return the bikes.  I certainly wouldn't have had the energy to go to the gaol after!
