18. Dookie CWA Park
Dookie is a photographer's and artist's delight. Recognised for its vibrant, distinctive natural features dominated mainly by its three hills, Dookie provides a welcome break from the flat terrain of the Greater Shepparton region. Views of historic Mt Major, Mt Saddleback and Gentle Annie are well worth the drive to Dookie which also boasts rich red volcanic soil instrumental in the diverse agricultural production of the area. In Spring, the Dookie landscape is ablaze with yellow and green as canola, legume and wheat crops thrive. In Summer the brown of a sunburnt country is evident when these crops are harvested and hundreds of rolls of hay are produced in the district. Autumn is a spectacular patchwork of the red volcanic soil and the green growth of a cooler season. Sheep and cattle graze on this country. The fertile agricultural land is also home to a number of vineyards, olive groves and a lavender farm. The University of Melbourne's Dookie Campus is an integral part of the community, opening its doors often to visitors and supporting local events and groups. There is a developing network of walking/riding tracks which encourage passive recreation opportunities including bird watching and gem collecting around the river, creeks and box iron bark forest. |

20.Teller Restaurant
While many a chef is attracted to the bright lights and big bucks of the city, country towns are not necessarily left in the culinary cold, as rural gems such as this one prove. Chef Matthew Milsome, having earned his stripes in the concrete jungle, has turned his sights homeward to the town of Mooroopna. His combination of local knowledge and urban training has resulting in Teller, a restaurant that comfortably straddles the divide between casual noshery and high-class fine diner. During the day, the old bank building is the place to go for a casual bite on the run; perhaps a quick brekkie or a hearty hot meal that's just a bit more interesting than you'd expect from your average cafe. The evenings are a more formal showcase for Milsome's culinary whimsy - a distinctly modern Australian medley of Asian and European tastes and styles. While the menu is minimal, there are still a greater number of tempting options than one can get through in a single sitting.
Chef: Matthew Milsome
