OK Guys & Gals, Below is this man and his basic history. Could you tell me after him returning to England, he was famous for starting up what company ?
wombat ;)

The history of crude-oil exploration and production in the Middle East began with William Knox DArcy (1849-1917), a British subject living in Australia who became very rich very quicklytwice. DArcy, a lawyer, invested in gold mines in Rockhampton, Queensland. After becoming a millionaire by the end of 19th century, he and his family returned to England.

I'm not so good at cryptic clues.
Read about the 8 types of clues. Mostly too deep for me :8
Love it when I crack one tho :D
Local ABC radio here has "treasure hunter" every Sat from 10 til 12.
Five red envelopes found by following the cryptic clues in each.
2 guests in the studio to decide the direction from clues.
2 ABC staffers in a car to chase the treasure.
Mythical treasure if they get there in time.
Learn a lot about the local area and so many suggestions from listeners, you can only learn to use ya brain more.
End of rant :)
Lateral thinking....
