OLD DUBBO GAOL WINS BRONZE AT NSW TOURISM AWARDS
Old Dubbo Gaol has taken home bronze in the Cultural Tourism category at the 2024 NSW Tourism Awards.
Dubbo Regional Council Mayor Josh Black congratulated the team on their win.
“This is a fantastic achievement to recognise the successes within the past year.”
“The award is even more significant as this year marks the facility’s 50th anniversary since the Old Dubbo Gaol has operated as a tourism centre.”
“This is the second consecutive year we have brought home an award in this category which again highlights the importance of this historic site in our community,” Clr Black said.
Within the past 12 months, the Old Dubbo Gaol has launched a digital map touchscreen and developed guided tours to enhance visitor experience with an interactive approach.
“The Old Dubbo Gaol has also launched their new book this year, ‘Sandstone Heart: The History of Dubbo Gaol’, the second publication by Old Dubbo Gaol Visitor Experience Officer, Chris Anemaat, designed to complement the 50th anniversary of the facility,” Clr Black said.
Additionally, Old Dubbo Gaol volunteer, Tom Condon, has created greeting card souvenirs available to purchase at the facility.
“The Old Dubbo Gaol team are exceptional in continuing to introduce new technologies whilst providing award-winning customer experience during a milestone year,” Clr Black said.
