Photo:  Exporting 5000 boxes of butter to Canada
Exporting 5000 boxes of butter to Canada, January 1931. The first attempt to export
Victorian butter was in 1868. Twenty-four farmers sent a load to England. So putrid was
the butter on arrival that it was all sold as cart grease. By 1931 Australian
butter was highly regarded in Britain.
