Dookie Engagement Centre

Nestled in the heart of Victoria's Goulburn Valley, the Dookie Engagement Centre offers a unique blend of agricultural education and community engagement. As part of the University of Melbourne's Dookie Campus, this centre provides a hands-on learning environment with access to a 2,440-hectare working farm, including a vineyard, winery, grazing and cropping farm, orchard, and seed bank. Students and visitors can explore the Dookie Bushland Reserve, a nationally significant area of White/Grey box grassy woodland, and enjoy recreational facilities such as a swimming pool, gymnasium, tennis and basketball courts, and the Dookie Rail Trail. The campus is home to a vibrant community, offering a range of accommodation options and a variety of sporting and recreational facilities. Its proximity to Shepparton and Benalla provides easy access to shopping, dining, and other amenities, making it an ideal destination for those interested in agriculture, environmental science, and sustainable living.
