Overview

The Strand Cafe had been the Dowerin Co-op but the advent of Co-operative Bulk Handling in the 1930s changed the business side of the wheat industry. The Strand Cafe was an important part of the Dowerin main street in the late 1930s and was very busy on a Saturday night when farming families came to town.
