The Dairy Farm Company, from the 1890s onwards, had steadily occupied Pok Fu Lam’s hillsides. The firm, with Friesian cows imported from Australia, ran a successful dairying business that catered mostly to Europeans. Meandering cattle pads, stonewalled paddocks and byres mount this hill above Waterfall Bay — just west of today’s Wah Fu. In the right foreground the cutting for Victoria Road skirts the slopes.
