20130916 Dairy cattle grazing near Rous River NSW - Mt. Warning on horizon
Taken near 96 Dulguigan Rd Dulguigan NSW 2484, Australia.
Captured with my Fujifilm GW690II on Ilford 120 HP5 film. Film processed in Ilfotec LC29 (6 mins). Negative scanned on Epson V500 scanner using Digitaliza Scanning mask.
Due to Mount Warning's proximity to Cape Byron, the Australian continent's easternmost point, it is the first place on mainland Australia to receive the sun's rays each day. See Wikipedia for more information at en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mount_Warning
The first dairy farms in New South Wales were established in the Kiama District, south of Sydney, in the 1860s and 1870s. Reports of a warm climate and good farming land on the North Coast drew dairy farmers to the region in the 1880s and dairy cattle were first introduced to the Tweed Valley in the 1890s.
There were two factors that encouraged the growth of the dairy industry in the Tweed Valley:
The introduction of grass varieties, in particular, paspalum dilatatum, that were suited to the rich volcanic soils and which enabled the cows to produce more milk, and
The opening of the railway line connecting Lismore, Bangalow, Byron Bay, Mullumbimby and Murwillumbah, which gave dairy farmers direct access to towns along the railway line, and also to Sydney, to sell their butter.
Butter boxes were made from Hoop Pine, a timber that was non-tainting, meaning it did not change the smell or taste of the butter packed inside it. The boxes were used to pack export quality butter which was sent as far away as London. The stamp on the box says that the contents were “pasteurised” meaning the milk was sterilised to remove bacteria through a process of heating and then rapidly cooling it.
