The village of Nabiac is situated on the Wallamba River on the mid north coast of New South Wales, Nabiac means ‘place of the wild fig’ and lies between lands once inhabited by the Biripi and Worimi Aboriginal Tribes.
Several butcher shops existed in and around the village at various times in its history and the photograph here shows Ernie Wooster (in the striped apron) standing beside his motorised butcher's cart (a four cylinder Overland). His driver was a young Fred Gorton. Ernie's butcher shop (which still exists) was beside his house on the northern edge of Nabiac. It and the present Wooster house were moved further up the lane in 2005 to make way for the duplication of the Pacific Highway.
Ernie Wooster of Nabiac was my great grandfather, his real name was Ernest Brandon Wooster, son of Charles & Matilda Wooster of Wooster Road Nabiac NSW. The butcher shop was located outside the Wooster houses and shops on the corner of the Pacific Highway & Wooster Lane. With the extension of the highway circa 2005, my late grandfathers house & the listed butcher shop was relocated approximately 200 metres up Wooster lane.
But I will give it a shot. I can only imagen how theese guy's did the damn thing. Tool's .... what kind of tool's did theese guy's use? ..... Had to be Strong MOFO's to do the deed. and I wonder how thay went about the routine? Simply put I wish I could be a fly on the wall for a full day of what theese guy's went through to get er done!
