[citation needed] The dairy industry has the most claim to fame with a massive fig tree near the railway station being the drop off point of "cream cans" full of milk.
Locals would deliver the fresh milk to the depot where it was then loaded onto Claude's Truck for the trip to the Port Curtis Dairy (PCD).
Cream in those days was sold on "degrees of Rancid" (fresh, ripe, stale) as there was no refrigeration.
