About Dookie

Dookie Campus is Victoria’s oldest agricultural college and Australia’s second oldest (after Hawksbury). The first students graduated in 1888. The Dookie College Estate is a 2440-hectare property comprised of farming enterprises and the Dookie Bushland Reserve. Consisting of 270 ha of remnant White/Grey Box, the Dookie Bushland Reserve is of national significance and is the single largest and most diverse area of White/Grey box grassy woodland remaining in Victoria. The reserve is monitored and managed to help maintain the biodiversity of this important ecosystem.

Dookie Farm enterprises (dairy, broadacre cropping, sheep and orchard) are managed as commercial ventures, incorporating research and educational programs.
