Munn’s Maizena Works, Merrimbula.

Rare c.19th engraving of Munn’s Maizena flour mill.

Matthew Munn, a Scottish migrant, took over an existing flour mill on the side of the lake and created a business milling cornflour, which he called “Munn’s Maizena.” He began production in 1867 and soon became wealthy enough to buy up many of the land allotments and small holdings in the area.
