When it’s time to stock up on groceries, browse among hardware supplies or get a tyre fixed, you can’t go past Boulia’s Min Min Store. Bob and Val Spilsbury have been building up the business for over 45 years and it’s almost a case of what they don’t have in their shop isn’t worth having!  For an easy lunch, grab a hot chook or some pies and sausage rolls while you’re stocking up on supermarket goods, with even non-prescription medications for sale.

The Thrifty Hardware section has everything from power tools to garden furniture. Out the back, Bob’s Tyres offers a full tyre repair and fitting service. The store is open Monday to Saturday from around 6.00am to 5.30pm. 

The land that the buildings are situated on has been turned into a wildlife haven, with Val an accredited wildlife carer. Injured and orphaned joeys are frequently brought to Val, who nurses them to health and then releases them into the wild when they are old enough.
