  Captions from listing by photograher -- ML 43/98
  Cowra Export Packers was "originally an Edgell plant, the factory closed in 1991 with the owners apparently opposing a management buy-out. It was re-opened as a co-operative several years later, with most of the original Edgell management and plant staff who were Cowra locals." -- Photographer's note, Mar 1999 (ML 43/98)
