Travellers heading down the Hume Highway have a fresh reason to stop this spring. Just in time for the school holidays, the famous Dog on the Tucker Box kiosk near Gundagai will re-open – with plenty of new treats for road trippers and their dogs!
The re-designed kiosk is about celebrating Aussie road trip traditions, with a modern twist.
Think:
- creamy gelato in a rainbow of flavours made fresh on site (kids can watch the magic happen)
- Melbourne’s best coffee brand served with freshly prepared sandwiches, locally made cakes, and classic treats
- locally sourced Riverina goodies from Annie’s Pantry, to stock up your picnic basket
- Dog on the Tucker Box souvenirs and dog treats, the perfect keepsake for visitors and their four-legged companions.
Robert Winnel, AM, from the Dog on the Tucker Box team (who are the new custodians of this iconic site) says the new-look kiosk is just the beginning: “The Dog on the Tucker Box is more than a pitstop – it’s a part of Aussie history. We’re giving it the love it deserves so travellers feel welcome, get a great coffee, and take home memories that will last long after the road trip.
“This is stage one of a bigger plan to regenerate the whole site, creating a destination hub where travellers can stretch their legs, grab a selfie with their pup by the famous monument, and enjoy a taste of Gundagai hospitality.
So why not stop by, relax and see what’s on offer?”
