Butter Factory
The small town of Orroroo in South Australia, 200km north of Adelaide saw a boom in dairying following the damming of the Pekina Creek and the development of an irrigation scheme serving 40 farms on the eastern flats below the town. A butter factory was opened in 1907 and the product marketed as Walloway Butter. This was exported as far a London although 70% went to Broken Hill. In 1919 the business was acquired by the South Australian Farmers Union and this new factory was opened in 1921 at a cost of £8,000. This factory closed in 1970 and milk was subsequently sent by road to Gawler.
