I will have to check that. I don't know.

The areas people have a unique name for road side electric polls and the two wheeled trolleys we move heavy things around with.

All correct. Car was called the Zeta. Only things left to answer are name of the mine's location ( near Adelaide ) and the year ? Also bonus questions if you know the the local lingo for telegraph poles and trolley trucks.

sadly the zeta was a flop. Easy to laugh at but hey at least we could make a car in this country back then. The green one is the sports model lol

324 cc of raw power

Spoken like a true crow eater. Yes and yes. When I first came to queensland no one at work knew wtf I was talking about when I said sack truck a german there knew what I meant. Maybe its from German ? And Stobie poles where originally made by the stobie family way back, hence the name.

Nope, getting closer though in location and year.

Ok, so it's obviously not a silver mine. Then Gold was first produced in SA in 1846 from the Victoria Mine in the Mt Lofty Ranges. This lead to a sequence of subsequent gold discoveries, predominantly in the Mt Lofty Ranges, characterized by short campaigns of high production as miners rushed to each discovery in large numbers.

Yes they did apparently. How did you know that ?

Spot on. Victoria mine Castambul. 12oz nugget started it apparently. Balls in your court although Tathradj did pretty well to figure out the car.

Thanks, i really didn't want to guess it as now i have to think really hard. :8

Let's try this. Who or what am i?

Although i populate the world, with over 34'000 varieties, Australia is considered to be the home of one of the longest specimens of my kind. I can be found in both, WA and Sa.
