Gundagai Meat Processors

Our family, the Bartons, has been associated with Gundagai’s meat industry for almost 100 years, spanning three generations. In 1919, Fred W. Barton began a butcher’s apprenticeship in South Gundagai before ultimately owning and operating “Barton’s Butchery” in the main street of Gundagai. His sons, Tony and Bill Barton, built on the knowledge passed on to them from their father and in September 1974 constructed a small abattoir on the outskirts of South Gundagai on a farm originally owned by Fred Barton’s grandfather William Barton (1853-1928).
