Re: Australian Trivia Only
Can't have been before WW1, so I'll punt at 19...... hmmmm 20?
EDIT:
The label says "Proudly made in Australia since 1923"...
So I'll revise the above to "1923"
I know that Kraft (USA) bought him out, then they in turn were swallowed by General Foods (of USA), and now a local mob has bought back the farm... so it's once again an Oz invention MADE OWNED by us Aussies (been made by an Oz workforce for years; just the profits were exported)... however, I don't know who the local mob is.
EDIT:
Tsk Tsk.. shoulda checked the pantry... it's Bega Cheese!
But the address is still 1 Vegemite Way, Port Melbourne, where the Kraft name had been alongside the freeway for yonks.
"Just change the sign, fellas. We'll keep the old factory."

Re: Australian Trivia Only
Assuming that the Vegemite label is correct, I shall jump in immediately with another question:
The Rinella Marina is a pest introduced to Australia.
What is its common name, and when was it introduced to Godzone (That's Oz)??
(Gotta get both right to claim the prize!)

Re: Australian Trivia Only
Correct answer Ray, 1923 was the year but I see you have jumped the gun With another double barrel question.
I eat Mighty Mite these days owing to the fact that it is " gluten free" made by the Three Threes Condiments Pty Ltd.

Re: Australian Trivia Only
I believe the Rhinella Marina is a Cane Toad & was introduced to Australia in June 1935?
