Have you been to Dookie? 💛🌿

Right now, Dookie is ablaze with yellow canola fields, rolling green countryside and brilliant blue skies - a landscape awakening for spring.

It’s the season to get out, take the country roads and rediscover The Goulburn Region as colour blankets the landscape and good things grow.

Awaken to a fresh season of colour and discovery in The Goulburn Region.

We’re not saying don’t buy him socks... (because socks are always handy), but we think you can add a little more Dad to his gift. 🎁

This Father’s Day, give Dad something he’ll really be into with a day out in The Goulburn Region.

🎣 For the fishing dad: Find a quiet spot along the Goulburn River, Victoria Park Lake or Lake Nagambie, throw in a line and see who gets bragging rights.

🍺 For the pub dad: Settle in for a hearty country pub lunch, a locally brewed beer and absolutely no expectation that he does the dishes afterwards.

🥩 For the foodie dad: Book a long lunch, visit a local winery or brewery, or track down some of the region’s best pies, produce and paddock-to-plate flavours.

🚴 For the outdoors dad: Hit the Great Victorian Rail Trail, tackle a bushwalking track or simply head out on a country drive with a few good stops along the way.

🚂 For the history dad: Explore our railway, military and motoring history and give him plenty of opportunities to say, “They don’t make them like they used to.”

🍷 For the wine dad: Cellar doors, vineyard views and a bottle of something local to take home. Socks can’t compete with that.

Whatever kind of Dad you’re celebrating, make a day of it in The Goulburn Region this Father’s Day.

Socks optional. Dad time essential. 😉

We’re starting to see little pops of colour across The Goulburn Region - and it’s not just the wattle and canola. 🌼💛

Mitchelton’s Gallery of Aboriginal Art is bringing plenty of colour indoors, too, with an ever-changing selection of artworks on display.

If you’re looking for a little colour and creativity during these final weeks of winter, add a visit to the gallery to your next Goulburn Region getaway. 🎨

🚂 The golden age of rail returns to The Goulburn Region this weekend.

On Saturday, Steamrail Victoria's magnificent heritage steam locomotive will thunder over the Great Dividing Range before rolling into the historic railway town of Seymour - recreating the glory days of iconic express trains like the Spirit of Progress.

While tickets for this weekend's journey have sold out, you don't need to be on board to experience the magic. Head to Seymour to watch the locomotive arrive in a cloud of steam, soak up the atmosphere around the station, then spend the afternoon discovering this historic riverside town. Wander the local shops, enjoy lunch at one of Seymour's cafés or pubs, and watch as the locomotive is turned on the historic turntable before its return journey to Melbourne.

Still dreaming of travelling by rail? You can book your own heritage railway adventure aboard the Goulburn Valley Explorer this September. The scenic journey stops in Seymour, Nagambie and Murchison East, giving you time to explore, dine and experience some of the best of The Goulburn Region along the way.

🚂 Find booking details via the Steamrail website.

A warmer than usual winter has brought an early splash of colour to The Goulburn Region, with some canola fields already beginning to turn yellow.

The best is still to come, but it's a beautiful reminder that every season has something worth discovering.
