Information
The North
Gundagai Rest Area is better known as the place "where the dog sits on the tucker box five
miles from Gundagai". Eight kilometres just doesn't have the same ring to it. The statue of the dog was opened in 1932 and has been a popular
rest stop since that time. The area hosts a roadhouse service station and a cafe and souvenir
shop at the dog on the tucker box. There are
toilets and picnic facilities as
well.
