Robert Dulhunty
Robert Venour Dulhunty (1803 – 30 December 1853) is chiefly remembered as being the first permanent white settler of what has since become the City of Dubbo, in the rural heartland of the Australian state of New South Wales. The well read son of a medical practitioner, Dr John Dulhunty, and the doctor's wife, Jane Dulhunty (née Smith), he also was one of the wealthiest and most enterprising citizens of the then Colony of New South Wales during the late-Georgian and early-Victorian eras.
It was in about 1832 that Dulhunty took up the land — which he named 'Dubbo' — on the Macquarie River, just to the south of the present-day city. Consequently, he can be viewed as the founder of what is today one of the most important regional centres in eastern Australia.
== Background ==
Robert Venour Dulhunty was born in the coastal township of Paignton, Devon, England, in 1803. (His unusual middle name means "hunter".( what language is it, translated from?) The boy's mother came from West Country English stock but his father's lineage was Irish in origin. The original Gaelic form of the name was O'Dulchaointigh and Dr Dulhunty's forebears belonged to a sept of the O'Carroll clan situated in the province of Munster, Ireland.
A Royal Navy surgeon, Dr Dulhunty had happened to visit the port of Sydney — the capital of the British colony of New South Wales (NSW) — during the course of his maritime career, earmarking it as a suitable place in which to live with Mrs Dulhunty when he eventually retired from the sea. In 1826, he carried out his plan, settling down in Sydney and acquiring a parcel of rural land at Burwood, which was situated 12 kilometres west of the port's mercantile and governmental core. Two years later, he was appointed to the salaried position of Superintendent of Police by the Governor of NSW. The governor had been impressed by the cool-headed bravery that Dr Dulhunty displayed when bushrangers attacked his residence, Burwood House. Dr Dulhunty's health declined unexpectedly in the wake of his police appointment, however, and he died at Burwood House in 1828.
