Useful short pit stop for the children to have some photos taken. Easy to pull off the motorway to have a rest before hitting the road again. More

As an Aussie icon, everyone who travels the Hume Highway should at least stop once in their lifetime to have a look at the dog on the tuckerbox. Its nothing special but the stop is a good break to stretch your legs and learn about the history of the dog. More

The poor old dog looks as though it could do with a good ffed and a make over, It appears as though the cafe/shop has been badly affected by the large eatery at the servo next door.

'Nuff said! The cafe is good for an icecream and the lady behind the counter was surprisingly jolly for a... More

My parents told me to visit it on the way from Melbourne to Canberra. My sister and I were expecting something a little bigger, so it was a little disappointing from that point of view, but great to be able to say I've seen it. More

The legend of the Dog on the Tucker box is well known in Australia. There was not enough here to make me want to return but it is worth a look. More

Part of Bowyang Yorke's 1880 poem about Bullocky Bill and how... More
