A butter factory opened in 1892 on Butter Factory Lane near Edith, owned by Oberon Co-Operative Dairy Company and managed at first by John Edgar. Claude Brien, who was born in 1909 and grew up at Ferndale (on the Duckmaloi Road) described how his mother packed butter in a 50 pound box about 18 inches square, lined with tissue paper. It was picked up by a horse van and taken to Sydney.
Before you rush out onto stage 2 of The Road Less Travelled, PLEASE note the following:
- All roads have been picked to be 2WD suitable, IN THE RIGHT CONDITIONS.
- Roads/Forests can be closed due to a variety of reasons. If the road/forest is closed, do not drive on/enter it.
This is NOT a power trail; this is a touring trail designed to be done at a more relaxed pace over a few days. No need to rush, there are plenty of accommodation options along the way for all budgets from free camping and caravan parks to B&B, hotel or motel in some towns or nearby.
