Who knew? Malty favourite Milo was first and is still produced in NSW's Macleay Valley

"The iconic Australian milk drink Milo is 80 years old and the town where it was first made is celebrating its connection.

The 'Go and Go with Milo' exhibition in Kempsey tells the story of its deep connection to the Macleay Valley.

It was invented in Sydney during the Depression in the early 1930s by Thomas Mayne, an Australian industrial chemist and food researcher, to help ensure that children received enough nutrients from their daily diet."
