Dunedoo, Administrative center in Warrumbungle Shire, New South Wales, Australia.
Dunedoo is the administrative center of Warrumbungle Shire in northern New South Wales and sits where the Golden and Castlereagh Highways meet. The main commercial area runs along Bolaro Street, following the railway line through town.
The settlement was originally called Bolaro but changed its name in 1909 when the post office was renamed. The railway arrived the following year, establishing the town's importance as a transport center for the region.
The name comes from the Wiradjuri language and means swans, referring to birds that inhabit the nearby lakes and waterways. This connection to the local landscape remains part of the town's identity today.
The town functions as an agricultural service center supporting farming activities such as wheat growing, cattle raising, timber processing, and wool production. Visitors should know this is a working commercial hub shaped by its local industries and rural economy.
The town's grain silos have been transformed by local artists into large-scale murals, including a portrait of the celebrated racehorse Winx. These artworks commemorate the local connection to jockey Hugh Bowman and offer visitors an unexpected artistic discovery in this rural setting.
