Wowan Information
The butter factory may have closed down, as has been the case throughout much of rural Australia, but the little town of Wowan has kept its old butter factory alive via a very good museum. Known as the Old Butter Factory Museum, much of the area's history has been given to safe hands.
Part of that history deals with the greater role the town had back in its earlier days, in that in 1944 Wowan was the centre of local government.
History also recalls the input of the Chinese gold miners who worked the fields located about 10 kilometres out of town.
