On the stage coach route Quilchena General Store was a bustling depot of activity and news since 1912. Gas pumps have now replaced the hitching rails but you can still swap stories around the pot bellied stove. Quilchena General Store is a treasure chest of local art and jewellery, groceries and fishing licences, outdoor wear and cowboy hats and is open all year round.
