[Harbourmaster]

How about Captain Francis Cadell

You are correct Harbormaster, your turn.

 

[user 4386]

Francis Cadell. The town of Cadell being just east of Morgan. Expelled from WA for mistreating aborigines and keeping them on Barrow Island. Murdered by the cook's mate - couldn't have happened to a more deserving guy. Strange who we name places after (I once lived in a city where the main street was still Hermann Goering Strasse 30 years after ww2)..

 

[Harbourmaster]

What was claimed to have been made for the first time in a factory in Sydney in June of 1899 ?
It's edible

 

[user 4386]

Various Sanitarium foods, such as Granola (they had started selling peanut butter the previous year).
