About Mallee Milk Distributors

Deniliquin Dairy

John & Helen Tonkin purchased the Denilquin Dairy from Robert Hallam back in 1993 where the dairy originally operated from the back of the Deniliquin Central IGA. Once purchased the dairy was relocated to its current address on Stewart & Kelly Street. In the beginning the dairy employed 3 men and ran 6 days a week. Unfortunately, during this time, the local area saw many closures in the Red Gum industry,  Abattoirs and the Rice Mill temporarily closing during the drought years which in turn resulted in redundancies at the dairy.

Fast forward to the present, Robert Telford has been actively employed for the past 10 years as both manager and driver. Robert has lived in the area for the past 50 years, he distributes to Cafes, Hotels, Motels & convenient petrol sites around the Deniliquin area. The dairy also services the townships of Urana, Jerilderie, Finley, Oaklands & Berrigan areas twice a week.

We purchase milk from two major processes, Lactalis & Saputo who both have local links to the Deniliquin area by purchasing their raw product from farmers throughout the region. Our Dairy continues to Support other local businesses and sporting clubs by sponsoring events and giving donations which gives the dairy a local focus that supports other local businesses in the town.

Over the years the dairy has introduced a wide range of products to complement our dairy range, these include Soft Drinks, UHT products, Soy/Almond products, juices, cheese varieties and energy drinks. Our extensive range of products allows our customers more choice in product range, along with competitive prices, superior service and the knowledge that your supporting a local business.
