The dairy industry was an important pioneer in the development of Western Australia, and its history is closely interwoven with the state's early history.
As each new farming district was settled, small-scale dairy farming was established on many farms, providing a regular income, which the infant wool, cereal and beef industries developed. Butter factories were established at inland centres, which are now considered entirely unsuitable for dairy farming.
However the main body of the industry was developed in the South West of the State, from Perth to Augusta, to Manjimup ad Northclifffe and across to Albany, in the period between the two world wars. (Foreword)
