What is Dongolocking Like Today?
Dongolocking is not a busy town anymore. Most people live on private farms. They manage livestock, which means they look after farm animals. They also grow important crops. These include wheat and other cereals.
The Dongolocking Hall
One important building left is the Dongolocking Hall. It's used for community events. For example, people gather there for Christmas parties. The first hall got old and worn out. So, a new hall was built in 1960. This is the hall still used today.
The Old School Building
Dongolocking also has a special history with its old school. The original school building was moved. It traveled to the town of Katanning. There, it became part of the Katanning Primary School. The Education Department still uses this building. It helps teach students even now.
