Dookie General Store

Local flavours
Written By Tess Nicholson

People drive a long way to get here for the Dookie Burger. It’s a $10 ciabatta bun from Higgin’s Bakery layered with cheese, beef patty, bacon, beetroot, onion, tomato, fried locally-grown Goodlookin’ Googees egg and chopped greens. The old store also has good bacon sarnies and, during the summer harvest, it remains open to feed the farmers who are bringing in the grain.

Since the 1880s, the Dookie General Store has been a town focus. Today, it has a licenced post office, branded Dookie souvenirs and a pick-and-mix lolly cabinet. Look for the sign above the door; it has the original phone number painted on the window: 17.
