Heading to the butcher is a regular event for many, and it is the butcher we rely on to give us just the right piece of meat to create the centrepiece of a delicious meal for family and friends.
Two of Mullumbimby’s butcher shops have proudly been in their current locations, serving the community for just over 100 years. The Brunswick Valley Historical Society’s Mullumbimby Museum are putting together an exhibition about butchering in Mullumbimby, Billinudgel, Brunswick Heads, and Ocean Shores over the last 100 years, including the meat pools that were at Main Arm, Wilsons Creek, and Tyagarah-Myocum.
‘We would like to invite anyone who has been involved in the butchering trade in these areas to the opening of the exhibition on Friday, 24 October from 5.30pm onwards at 17 Myokum Street, Mullumbimby,’ said Mullum Museum member Susan Tsicalas.
Of course everyone is looking forward to the best bar and barbecue in town that night. For more info see mullumbimbymuseum.org.au.
