the ‘tuckerbox’ story
Dog on the Tuckerbox is a famous Australian monument, named after a folk song, that has become a symbol of Australian history and culture. The song tells the story of a loyal dog who guards his master's tuckerbox, or lunchbox, while his master goes to work. The monument, located in Gundagai, depicts a statue of a dog sitting on top of a tuckerbox and is a popular tourist attraction.
The statue was erected in the early 20th century and has since become a well-known icon. The story of the dog on the tuckerbox and the statue that commemorates it continues to capture the hearts and imaginations of visitors from all around Australia, making it a must-visit for those travelling through the area.
So, when it came to naming our beer and cider range, it was a no-brainer to incorporate such an iconic landmark from our region. Our dog at the time, Spot, took the title of our brand a little too literally, and often took to himself to fill the position of the ‘Dog on the Tuckerbox’ himself!

Rusty Hoppy Lager - Like his counterpart on the Tuckerbox, Rusty the Jack Russell Terrier waited eagerly to greet visitors to Borambola Homestead. His luck run out before his master's when he met an 18-wheeler while chasing a bitch up the highway. Scruffy, Rusty’s brother was the next to stand guard.
Scruffy IPA - Scruffy the Jack Russell Terrier and brother of Rusty was affectionately known as ‘Latte Dog ‘. He came to Borambola Homestead leaving his city life in Mosman, Sydney. Spot from Deniliquin, was the next to stand guard.
Spotlight Session Pale Ale - Spot, the Jack Russell Terrier-Blue Heeler, came to Borambola Homestead in 2015 from Deniliquin, NSW. He was a hunter gatherer, and his luck run out after his third brown snake bite. Spot now lays to rest near the Cellar Door.
Craft Apple Cider - This sessionable cider is clean, crisp with a medium dry finish. It’s made with four varieties of eatable apples from NSW, with no added sugar, colouring or flavouring. Rusty, the Jack Russell Terrier is ‘our’ Dog on the Tuckerbox.
