Transforming the Dubbo Square Rhino - Local Artist Call Out

Charter Hall is inviting talented artists to be part of a unique creative journey—reimagining the iconic Dubbo Square Rhino with a stunning new mural design.

The Dubbo Rhino Adventure sculpture trail has long been a beloved fixture in the region, capturing imaginations with its bold, colourful presence. While some of the original sculptures have faded with time, the community’s enthusiasm for revitalizing these artistic landmarks remains strong. Since 2022, the local council has restored three rhinos throughout town—now, it’s time for the Dubbo Square Rhino to undergo its own transformation.
