The Dubbo War Memorial is a large, freestone tower, positioned atop a trachyte base. Three sides of the tower feature decoration and inscriptions. High up on the tower's front face is a stone laurel wreath. Closer to ground level is a dedication to those who fell in the First World War. The second side is dedicated to the Second World War and the third is for Korea, Malaysia, Borneo and Vietnam.
The memorial's base features three detailed, bronze relief panels, which depict Australian mounted infantry (Light Horse) and artillery units in action during the First World War. There are also three circular bronze sculptures shaped like waratahs, the official floral emblem of NSW.
The memorial was constructed between 1924–1925. It was designed by Sydney architects H. Crone and R.W. Hinton, and constructed by Robert Wall & Sons, also of Sydney. Crone and Hinton's design was chosen from 55 entries in a design competition that was held in February 1924 (Evening News, 4 February 1924). Their entry was described in The Labor Daily (15 March 1924) as:
a cenotaph in dressed freestone with a fine axed trachyte base with bronzed plates, illustrating France, Gallipoli and Egypt.
The Daily's article also quoted Sir Charles Rosenthal, one of the adjudicators of the competition. He said:
the aim of the memorial was not to express satisfaction at victory, but to commemorate the service and sacrifice which had been the main characteristics of the people throughout the war.
The unveiling and dedication ceremony took place on Anzac Day, 25 April 1925. The momentous occasion was reported on detail in The Dubbo Liberal and Macquarie Advocate on 28 April. The unveiling was conducted by Dubbo's most distinguished military son, Brigadier General James Heane, DSO, CMG, CB. He was accompanied by Bishop Long, Anglican Bishop of Bathurst, who performed the dedication. The newspaper enthusiastically reported:
It is estimated that upwards of 4000 people gathered last Saturday morning round the monument that the people of Dubbo and district have erected to the memory of their fallen soldiers. The ceremony from beginning to end was most impressive, and the impassioned and beautiful address delivered by Bishop Long thrilled, amazed and deeply touched every man, woman and child who was present. It was a speech the like of which few who were there have heard or will be likely to hear again.
Unlike most war memorials, the Dubbo tower is not inscribed with an honour roll of those who served or made the supreme sacrifice. Instead, these names are recorded in Books of Remembrance, which are locked in a purpose-built, waterproof recess, positioned behind one of the waratah sculptures. The books measure 25 x 20cm and are bound in vellum, with leaves of parchment. Recorded in the books is on alphabetical listing of Dubbo's fallen. Spaces have been left to add the names of those who have been missed.
The recess is the responsibility of the Mayor, who removes the books during the Anzac Day service. This tradition began at the unveiling ceremony, when Major-General Cox read the names from the book and locked them in the recess. He then presented the key to Mayor E. H. Burkitt in his role as "chief citizen of Dubbo and custodian of [the] monument". Mayor Burkitt declared he "will see that on every Anzac Day the recess is unlocked, the book removed, the names of the dead read out, and the book replaced" (The Dubbo Liberal and Macquarie Advocate, 28 April 1925).
The memorial is located in Dubbo's well-maintained Victoria Park, which traces its history back to the late 1800s. It is positioned on the Darling Street side of the park, near the intersection with Church Street. In front of the memorial are a set of ornamental metal gates, bearing the dates 1914 and 1918, underneath two Rising Sun badges. The park contains several other war memorials, including Dubbo Memorial Drive, Rose Garden and Honour Rolls, the Dubbo Lone Pine and the Dubbo Vietnam War and Pte William W. Donnelly Memorial.
In 2018, two sandstone obelisks were added to the northern side of the memorial, located on either side of the Remembrance Driveway, which runs to the north. Attached to them are bronze waratah artworks, created by sculptor Brett Garling. The obelisks were established in honour of the Centenary of the Armistice, which brought the First World War to an end on 11 November 1918. They were commissioned after the Dubbo Regional Council formed a Centenary of Armistice Committee, which also involved the Dubbo RSL sub-Branch. The monuments were installed by Abbey Funeral Homes and KD Stoneworks of Tumut. A blessing and dedication ceremony was held on 11 November 2018.

Dubbo War Memorial commemorates those who have served in the various conflicts in which Australia has been involved. The memorial was originally erected to commemorate those who died in service or were killed in action during World War One. The dedication inscription for those who lost their lives in World War Two was unveiled on the 17th October 1951.
The monument features detailed bronze relief figures of Australian mounted infantry (Light Horse) and artillery units in action during World War One. The bronze tablets were unveiled on Armistice Day 1925.
A crowd of nearly 4,000 people gathered for the unveiling of the Dubbo War Memorial in Victoria Park on 25 April 1925. The memorial was unveiled by Brigadier General James Heane, DSO, CMG, CB who was educated at Dubbo Superior School and served as the Area Officer for Militia Training prior to the Great War.
The Dubbo Liberal and Macquarie Advocate (NSW), 28 April 1925.
At the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month of 1918, when the Great War ended, the soldiers lined up over many hundreds of miles of the fronts in different parts of Europe, Asia and Africa rejoiced in that they had brought to its conclusion the war to end all wars. We know now that that was a delusion, but still it is a great day, partly of rejoicing and partly of memory for those who fell by the wayside in this great march towards peace on earth and goodwill among men. In Dubbo on Wednesday the day was made the occasion for completing our Memorial Monument by the unveiling of the bronze tablets depicting work of three of the principal arms of the service.
Mr. G. W. Browne then explained the meaning of the bronze tablets, although, as he said, they hardly needed it; for, as to the one facing Church street every boy and girl there could see that it depicted the Landing at Gallipoli. Facing the railway station was a bronze picture showing the work of that splendid arm of the service, the artillery, and a gun crew in action was there shown. On the third side was the gallant Light Horse, the mounted men, so many of whom had gone from the country district around them. They should look upon the monument as the sepulchre of dauntless men. They should forget all about war, but remember the spirit of the people who had built the monument in love and gratitude to their dead.
The Dubbo Liberal and Macquarie Advocate (NSW),
13 November 1925.
An inscription on the Soldiers' Memorial, commemorating the sacrifice of the fallen in world war 1939-1945 was unveiled by Sir John Northcott at a dedication this morning. The Bishop Co-adjutor, Rt. Rev d'Arcy Collins conducted the dedication.
The Dubbo Liberal and Macquarie Advocate (NSW), 17 October 1951

Me in my thirties. Each work station was equiped with a monitor and a keyboard called "TOPS position". TOPS stood for Traffic Operator Position System. I dont know what kind of equipment the Bell operators use today. I suppose it depends on what country they are working in.

A victory over 3rd bottom Southport Hesketh would've seen Longridge go 5 points clear at the top of the West Lancashire League Premier Division with 4 games to play. Sadly, Town produced their worst performance of the season, going down 3-0 to a hard working Southport side, who played a 90 minutes that belied their League position.
Manager Lee Ashcroft started with two up front, Jack Preston joining Brad Carsley, with Jordan Bowen playing just in behind. Town started OK on a bumpy surface, with Carsley heading wide a Mark Woods cross after just 12 minutes, but four minutes later a Southport corner to the edge of the penalty area was volleyed home to put Hesketh 1-0 up.
The travelling Town support was to be disappointed if they expected a response from the League leaders as, playing into a strong wind, Longridge were struggling to get going, being out worked all over the pitch by the Home side.
After 38 minutes a free kick was lofted into the Longridge area and, after failing to clear their lines, Town went two down as the ball was stabbed home from six yards.
2-0 as the teams went in at half time, and Town would now be playing with the wind at their backs.
Former Southport player Mark Jeffers was introduced, in place of Jack Preston, at half time as Ashcroft look to get the ball wide and provide the ammunition for Carsley to add to his 26 goal tally.
Jeffers looked bright and Town started the half looking for the goal to get them back in the game, but the closest they came was a glancing header from Danny Morris that rolled wide from a corner.
Joe Melling was replaced by Jordan Tucker on the hour, as Ryan McKenna moved up front with Carsley, but it was all in vain as the Southport keeper remained untroubled, aside from showing good hands when saving a Carsley free kick on 76 minutes.
Just 2 minutes later it was all over, although it had felt that way for a while, as Southport outnumbered the Town defence and fired a 3rd goal into the corner of the net. 3-0.
The final 12 minutes were played out in the grim belief that Longridge had missed an opportunity, but Southport had played well and fully deserved their 3 points on the day.
After the match Manager Lee Ashcroft (pictured)was philosophical regarding his teams chances , " The important thing now is that we win our next 3 matches, as the outcome is still in our own hands then, before going to Blackpool on the final day. We were poor today admittedly, but we have to respond and I'm pleased that we have the chance to do that quickly with the Tempest game on Wednesday night."
Town now have 3 home games, starting on Wednesday night against Tempest United with a 7.30pm kick off, before then facing title rivals Blackpool Wren Rovers on the final day of the season on Saturday May 13th.
Today's result leaves Longridge two points clear at the top of the West Lancashire League Premier Division on 72 points, two clear of nearest challengers Wren Rovers.
The Tower Circus is positioned at the base of the tower, between its four legs. The circus first opened to the public on 14 May 1894 and has not missed a season since.
The present interior was designed by Frank Matcham and was completed in 1900.
The circus ring can be lowered into a pool of water and holds 42,000 US gallons (160,000 l; 35,000 imp gal) at a depth of up to 4 ft 6 inches, which allows for Grand Finales with Dancing Fountains. The Tower Circus is one of four left in the world that can do this.
The clown Charlie Cairoli appeared at the tower for 39 years. Britain's best-known ringmaster Norman Barrett worked the ring for 25 years.
Animals appeared in the circus until 1990.
It was planned to close the circus at the end of the 1990 season and replace it with an animatronic attraction. Public opinion and the fact the animatronics were not ready meant that the circus continued.
Today, the circus is produced and directed by Hungarian Laci Endresz, who is married to Maureen, one of the Roberts family who have a long association with the Tower Circus. A live band (sometimes accompanied by Mooky the Clown) provides all the music for the show, often dynamically syncing with the performers' movements. The circus band play a variety of different songs, usually Latin for the acts. In the winter the circus stages a pantomime instead of the regular show.
