Dubbo, known as NSW's hub of the west lies on a major road junction - that of the Newell and Mitchell Highways as well as a major rail junction. While its status has grown over the years as a junction town and being a target location for businesses de-centralising from Sydney, the addition of the Western Plains Zoo and the Military Museum, both on the outskirts of the city have promoted tourism. The city centre is quite attractive with most streets lined with deciduous trees, well kept Victoria & parts of the Macquarie Riverside parks, and from the recent upgrade of Macquarie Street.
