About Dookie College
Dookie College is a small rural locality in northern Victoria, situated approximately 15 kilometres north-east of Dookie within the Moira Shire or Strathbogie Shire area. Covering around 16.5 square kilometres, it is notable as the historical home of the Dookie Agricultural College — now the University of Melbourne's Dookie Campus — one of Victoria's oldest agricultural training institutions. The 2021 Census recorded approximately 51 residents, reflecting the locality's small, campus-centred community set within the rolling farming country of the Strathbogie foothills.
The University of Melbourne's Dookie Campus focuses on agricultural science and farm management education, giving the locality a unique educational character among the surrounding farming landscape. Shepparton and Benalla are the nearest regional service centres, providing retail, healthcare, and education facilities within a 45-60 minute drive. Dookie College suits those with a connection to agricultural education, rural research, or the farming community of north-central Victoria.
