We acknowledge the Wiradjuri people who are the traditional custodians of the land on which we live, work and play. We pay our respects to Elders past, present and emerging of the Wiradjuri Nation and thank them for their care of the land, water and sky and extend that respect to other Indigenous Australians.

The waterways of the Dubbo Region have always held a special significance to the Wiradjuri people of this area. The Macquarie River’s traditional name is Wambuul meaning ‘winding river’. The ebb and flow of the Wambuul through Dubbo and Wellington provided many ceremonial sites and gathering places for the local tribes. Visitors can still see evidence of one of the important gathering places at Terramungamine
Reserve near Dubbo where the rocks bear over 150 grooves and carvings created over many years as the Wiradjuri people shaped tools and spears (pictured left). The Dubbo Wiradjuri Garden (pictured right and below) offers the opportunity to further immerse the senses in Wiradjuri culture. This culturally significant and accessible meeting space for the community features large spans of open grass and accessible path systems representing the 3 key rivers of the area. Conversation is encouraged by the 2 large sandstone yarning circles, while native gardens with vegetation endemic to the area provides a serene atmosphere. The focal point of the garden space is the 50 metre rainbow serpent alive with a variety of native plant life.
