Dunedoo Silo Art
Located at the junction of the Golden and Castlereagh Highways, Dunedoo has joined the list of town with grain silo art. This is an interesting choice of subject, because the jockey, Hugh Bowman is from Dunedoo. Bowman won 33 of Winx’s 44 races (she won a total of 38 of the 44 races). Also featured is trainer Chris Waller.
The other side of the silo features local wildlife, making great use of the silo. The mural was painted by Peter Mortimore and his wife Carolyn who grew up in Dunedoo, adding a further local connection.
Parking is available adjacent to the silo off the main street.

Sculpture Park
A sculpture park composed of metal birds is next to the silo. These birds are found locally, with each sculpture also having an information plaque on the bird. This was a good place to stretch our legs after a two and a half hour car ride.

Opposite the silo and sculptures, the White Swan Café offers meals and drinks, while offering take away if you don’t want to dine in. While inside, have a look at the decorations, which are from the 1950s.

Astronomy
An unusual and unexpected display was an information board for the planet Neptune. Centred on Coonabarabran, this is part of a virtual solar system, demonstrating how far away the other planets are.

Dunedoo was a great place to stop and stretch our legs while admiring some art and grabbing a snack.
