[Goldfreak]

The first official as in commercial mining activity for gold in Australia was in what year and where ?

 

[Goldfreak]

Need any more clues ?

All quiet on the western front here. The nearby city was also home to a washing machine making company that started making cars that looked a little like a washing machine. Funny but true.

 

[shakergt]

Google did help me with this

 

[Goldfreak]

Hmmm. Do we allow googled answers ?

 

[Goldfreak]

That's alright. But name the year the place and the car.

No but it was under 20 kms from a capital city and before 1855

 

[Goldfreak]

As for the car, it was made between 1950 and 1970. The engine capacity was under 800cc. If I give you exact numbers its too easy to google

[Nanjim]

Did the company that made the car also make cement mixers??

 

[Goldfreak]

Eachunga SA?

Not bad. It was one of the older gold fields. But no.
