The present building was built after the original factory, which opened in 1910, burnt down in 1930. We are asking people from properties in the old dairy areas of Wallumbilla, Yuleba, Roma, Hodgson, Gunnewin, Bymount and Injune for any old photos or memorabilia of dairies, trains and vehicles carting the cream cans to the factory that they might like to share with us. We are interested in obtaining cream separators, butter churns (even parts!), old cream cans in any state, milking machinery, a small dairy that could be relocated to the Butter Factory and of course any photos and stories you have.
