Coromandel Valley (1872)
Amidst a respite, Murray's Biscuit Factory workers pause in their endeavours. Arriving in South Australia aboard the 'India' in 1840, Alexander Murray cultivated fruit orchards. He established a jam and biscuit factory, employing numerous local men and women. Remarkably, some women undertook a weekly trek from Hahndorf to contribute to the factory's operations. As the enterprise evolved, it acquired the name A. Murray and Son. By 1876, the factory was in full swing, churning out substantial quantities of jam and biscuits.
