Start your day with a flavour-packed breakfast at CSC Dubbo, where quality local ingredients meet warm hospitality. With indoor and outdoor seating available, it’s a great spot to enjoy a fresh, satisfying meal before heading into the rest of your itinerary.

Step into Yayoi Kusama’s immersive installation at the Western Plains Cultural Centre, where bold patterns, playful repetition, and iconic pumpkins draw you into a vivid world of colour, creativity, and wonder. Extend your visit by stepping into the People, Places & Possessions: Dubbo Stories permanent exhibition, where local history is brought to life through objects and personal accounts that have shaped the region. Take time to explore the museum and other rotating exhibitions, then finish your visit with a browse through the shop for Kusama-inspired merchandise.

After exploring the expiring Western Plains Cultural Centre, pause for a refreshing break at Creo Café located within the Centre. With a selection of light bites, pastries, and your choice of coffee or matcha latte, it’s the perfect spot to recharge before easing into the next part of your day.

Located within the Dubbo Regional Botanic Garden, enjoy a leisurely walk through Shoyoen, Dubbo’s authentic Japanese strolling garden. Cross the timber bridge, pause by the waterfall as its steady rhythm carries through the garden, and admire the elegant teahouse and traditional architecture set among carefully curated plantings. The presence of water, winding paths, and vibrant koi creates a quiet, sensory moment to unwind in the garden.

Enjoy a moment of Japanese comfort at Tanoshi, with crispy karaage, steaming bowls of ramen, or a colourful bento box. A warm and satisfying way to conclude your Dubbo adventure.
