Thirsty Farmer

Thirsty Farmer is a country-style cafe, nursery and produce store on the Hume Highway side of Goulburn, the sort of stop that suits a road-trip break with a dog. The pull is a large garden setting with shaded outdoor tables, well away from traffic.

The dog setup. Dogs are welcome in the generous outdoor and undercover seating and through the nursery section, but not inside the main cafe building. The garden tables offer plenty of shade, and water bowls are usually about, though it is worth carrying your own.

Good to know. Hearty home-style meals, burgers and fresh local produce, with a wide plant range to browse while you wait. Hours generally cover breakfast and lunch, but check ahead as a single-site operator can vary days and times.

Getting there. 17135 Hume Highway, Goulburn, with a large gravel car park out front. Easy on and off the highway, which is the main reason it earns a stop.

Nearby with the dogs. Belmore Park in the centre of town is a short drive for a walk, and the Rocky Hill War Memorial has tracks with views over Goulburn.
