    1. Re: [AVG] Yarra Glen Butter Factory
    2. Anne Napier
    3. Hello Eric I checked with one of my colleagues who formerly lived and worked in South Gippsland, and he tells me that yes, reputedly the butter factory at Yarra Glen was moved to Stony Creek along with a couple of houses, which were used for the manager's residence and accommodation. The butter factory operated quite successfully for a time but was burnt down in the late 1930s. There is apparently more of the history in a booklet compiled for the Stony Creek township centenary. There is a former bus depot on the site now. One of the houses survives and was included in the South Gippsland Heritage Study as a place of local significance.
