Main Street, Coorow, Western Australia 6515

On a gorgeous, sunny, morning in late May, 36 people and 14 dogs rocked up the Koobabbie Precinct to enjoy a free sausage sizzle breakfast and doggy treats trail.

This was a great way to encourage visitors to explore artefacts at the Koobabbie Precinct, which offers a collection of farming & domestic items acquired from around the Shire of Coorow. It gets it’s name from the Waddy Forrest based farm Koobabbie, where majority of the collection derives from.

Hot chocolate, breakfast snags and dog pats, were in hot demand! The most popular dog treat (based on the very small amount left) were the dried Turkey Sausages from Geraldton based business Chew it over with Canine Candy.

What a great way to socialise with the community, exercise your dog, and enjoy a hot brekky! (All great ingredients for chasing those blues away.)

Snoopy dog treats trail

To encourage exploration of the vintage artefacts in the Koobabbie Precinct, large plastic snoopy figurines accompanied by boxes of dog treats were placed around the collection in both easy and hard-to-find places. Our four legged visitors enjoyed sniffing out the treats as well as the old tractors, engines and agricultural equipment on display.

THANK YOU!

BIG thanks to everyone who came along for breakfast AND to those who brought their dogs for a sniff and a play!

BIGGER thanks to members of the Coorow Heritage Group who cooked & served a tasty breakfast and the young people of the community who volunteered their time during the event.

BLUES BREAKFAST WALKIES EVENT GALLERY

Sometimes dogs are a little cautious of each other upon first meeting, but they soon figure out that they are safe and are up for a play!

Look at the love between these two. The love and loyalty of a dog is second-to-none.

MASSIVE thanks to the Coorow CRC publication The Magpie Squawk for putting US ON THE FRONT PAGE OF THE LOCAL RAG!

Coorow Primary School students drummed up interest and promoted the event.

The oldest dog in the pack was happy to watch from a quieter spot at the Precinct. xx

Great to local kids spending time with their furry friends.

We were delighted that local children were happy to pitch in and volunteer their time to turn snags, flip onions, serve sausages, make hot chocolates, give out dog prizes, take photos, AND DO THE DISHES! Little legends! Thank you so much!
