Milk powder from the 60's

Yeah grizzly, we used to do the same but we added a heap of sugar and it was sweet as. That was living, eh.

PS. Welcome to the forum grizzly.

I still use powdered milk when camping, just stir it straight in with the coffee then add hot water. 

I've also used it a lot for making milk vodka, that's spirit made from milk alone. Definitely different it's like vodka with a buttery finish.

Finding milk powder from the 60s can be nostalgic, but it's crucial to check its condition before use. The flavor and quality might degrade over time, impacting its taste and nutritional value. It's safer to opt for fresh options like best powdered milk available today. Improved production and packaging methods ensure higher quality and better retention of nutrients. While vintage finds are fun, prioritizing freshness is key for a great taste and nutritional benefits!

There’s a fair chance it was made by Murray Goulburn (Devondale ) as they were a huge supply of milk powder back then . They  still use blue packaging. 

Back in the sixty’s there were a lot of small Dairy Co ops ,many  of which had driers so excess milk wasn’t wasted , it could have been from any of these.

Ie Caboolture co op Dairy Company was know as CCDC .

     Booval ( Jacaranda) had a drier.

     Norco had a drier at Southport.

      Casino had a drier

      Toowoomba had a drier.

No to sure about milk vodka, but it is a cheap way of reducing powdery mildew on your vegetables, mix 1 part powdered milk to 9 parts water, give it a good shake and spray it on the leaves, makes the leaves alkaline which prevents the powdery mildew from spreading 

Who would have thought, powdered milk can be used on your cornflakes, for making custard and as a fungicide in the garden, pretty good stuff i reckon

I remember CDA powered milk in a blue box. There were 2 different sizes. Back in the 60s when I lived in Byrock, NSW, my mother used to buy it from the store. As we only had sheep on the property and had no cows to milk. We also only had a kerosene fridge to keep it in. Didn’t go much on the taste of it but better than nothing. Haven’t seen it around for many years now. I can’t find any acknowledgment of it anywhere online besides here.

My father is no use on that one as his old man had a milk run on the Atherton Tablelands....

@Bretto77  My Mum grew up in Atherton, she probably drank milk delivered by your grandad!

I think that one went 71. Check out @Kat's  Yepoon report from June 2022. Or even better... Ask her for confirmation .

Cheers.

Yep it was 71!  Much to my disgust

My mother has since made some custard with that recipe. We found an old tin in the pantry of the old farmhouse. 

Vacuum attachment on an angle grinder and voila it was powdered again. Mum then powdered the custard. I can send you some if you like @Angry51?
