The significance of the little Bulla factory located in North Melbourne’s famous Arden Street is by no means small. The factory, that has sat tucked away between Errol and Leveson Streets for the last 70 years, is the headquarters of one of Australia’s leading dairy companies.
It all began in 1910 when Mr. Thomas Andrew Sloan started the business in the suburb of Moonee Ponds. In those days milk was pasteurised by putting it inside cream cans that were placed in coppers and then fired with wood.
In 1928 the Arden Street premises was bought to house the cream bottling plant, distribution, and head office; the Moonee Ponds site was closed down.
