For the first time in nearly 30 years, the Dawson Family and descendants got together for a long overdue family reunion.

Dawson, a well known Dubbo family name includes Les Dawson, a driving force behind the establishment of Dawson Park (the home of Dubbo Greyhound Racing Club in Wheeler’s Lane) during the early 1970’s.

Going back even further, Dawson Plaster Works was a well-known and respected local business during the 1950’s, while during the 1940’s, Herbert Dawson owned and operated a nursery in South Dubbo, with Dawson Street in South Dubbo carrying the family name.
