Things to See and Do
The Booligal HotelNo longer an historic pub, the Booligal Hotel (now known as the Duke of Edinburgh Hotel) was rebuilt in 1979. It still has a certain, rough, outback charm and the walls are lined with interesting photos of earlier pubs in the town. The original town pub, the Drovers Arms (see photo) opened in 1861. In 1867 the first Duke of Edinburgh Hotel opened.
The Oxley Theodolite MemorialJust beyond the pub and over the road is a huge theodolite, a memorial to the surveyor and explorer, John Oxley, who was the first European to move across these vast plains and reach the Lachlan River. It has a simple plaque which reads: “Lieut. John Oxley, Surveyor General of NSW reached this point on 5th July 1817.”
