NOONANS LANE COMPLEX - History
The land upon which the place is located was originally part of Huttons Gazette station. In the 1862 allotment 1A was selected by F Wooles and allotment 4 by G Garton in 1880 (not the original selector). The original selector may have been McQueen who had a house and garden. The land may have been the location of the Gazette Creamery and Butter Factory which was in existence at least from 1904 and was closed in the early 1920s. Recently the land was owned by Bryan Linke (Blake 2011). Historical records investigated in Blake (2011) indicate that the remaining evidence of structures are possibly associated with the Gazette Creamery and Butter Factory, although this cannot be currently considered certain because of the lack of specificity of these records. If so, then the place was a dairy, creamery and butter factory during the early 20th century. Since this time the place has been grazed by sheep and cattle. A water tank, windmill and trough are currently functioning within the site.NOONANS LANE COMPLEX - Interpretation of Site

The site was possibly used for the collection and processing of milk for the production of cream and butter. Activities represented is likely to house cattle; the use of the structures represented by basalt and brick foundations is unknown; boiler function unknown.
