An excerpt from the dramatised radio series The Grand Parade, funded and produced by the Rural Bank of NSW.
This extract from a 1939 episode relates to Dubbo, with the opening announcement linking the series to Sydney’s Royal Easter Show, an annual event that still brings many NSW rural communities together to celebrate their achievements.
Each episode of The Grand Parade narrated the development of a country town in NSW, interspersed with dramatised scenes of explorers and founding families.
