A part of any thriving rural industry is a saleyards, and the one in the nearby vicinity is one of the original structures on New Dookie Road, albeit it having been updated and roofed. I can remember as a child visiting here with my dad on sheep sale days, unloading the sheep, counting them into the pens, and then going to the nearby saleyards cafeteria where we would have a three course roast meal, whilst waiting for the sales to begin. The thing I remember most was the bread-and-butter pudding. The lady who ran it, did so for 35 years, serving up roast meals three times a week to the farmers and truck drivers, as well as the stock and station agents, on the days when there were sheep, cattle or pig sales.
The abattoirs used to be nearby as well, also the pig yards, and the skins store. In those days all of these buildings were a long way out of town. Nowadays the city has come to meet the saleyards. The abattoirs, the skins store, and the old original cafeteria are long gone, but the memory lives on in my mind.
The road here is very busy now it is an industrial area, it will be extremely difficult to get a park on certain days. It is better to attempt this one at a weekend or after hours. You will need to bring your own pen to sign the log.
