Who am I?
I was born in NSW, although the exact location is debated to this day.
My father with the well known name was from the UK, who arrived in Australia in 1847.
My fame is well known in Victoria, where I set a record that I held for 107 years.

I think we might need another clue or 2

I was born in South Australia and by the time I was 32 years old I had invented something that is now in use around the world.
Of course it has been modified and improved over the years.

On the money OA.
Got it in one.
Got it in one.
I committed suicide in 1852 out of a guilty conscience.
What was the reason for my guilty conscience ?

I was one of a group of 11 stockmen who set a precedent in the Colony.... NSW.
John Blake
Myall Creek near Bingara was the site of one of the worst incidents in Australia's history in which up to 30 Aborigines were massacred by European settlers on 10th June 1838. After two trials, seven of the 12 settlers involved in the killings were found guilty of murder and hanged. The case led to significant uproar among sections of the population and the media, sometimes voiced in favour of the perpetrators.
John Fleming, the leader of the massacre, was never captured, and was allegedly responsible for further similar massacres throughout the Liverpool Plains and New England regions. John Blake, one of the four men acquitted at the first trial and not subsequently charged, committed suicide in 1852. His descendants say that they like to think he did so out of a guilty conscience.
