Early Dubbo History and Its Founders
Mitchell Library records detail how R. V. Dulhunty and early settlers shaped Dubbo. The article traces Dulhunty’s 1826 arrival, the creation of Dubbo House, and rival figures like Jean Emile de Bouillon Sericier and Nicolas Hyeronimus who built trading posts and inns along the Macquarie. It notes Sericer’s lobbying for a township and his long service in local government and telegraph extension funding.
