Laboratory cracking textbooks scattered across the floorDust covered workbenches and broken equipment scattered across the floor of the abandoned laboratory within Peters Creameries Pty Ltd's steam driven dairy factory at Chatham. Faded labels remain on empty bottles, remnants of a plant that processed condensed milk, butter, and dairy products from the Manning River valley. The factory opened in 1939 and operated until the late 1990s. Part of the Peters' Ice Cream Factory series.
