Butter factory, Gulgong, 1892
1892
The Butter Factory commenced operations in October last, and is considered one of the completest buildings, and the machinery the most improved, in the colonies. It is erected on a most favourable site, 10 acres, purchased from the Government in the centre of the common, which is 40 square miles in extent. It is well watered and grassed, and provides water for the public at 3d per cask. The demand, however, is small, unless in an exceptionally dry season, as there is a bountiful supply in the whole of the surroundings.
