While Blackall makes claim, Australia, or more so New South Wales had used the term (documented) as early as 1831.
That's more than 50 years earlier and Queensland as a State didn't even exist. I've always believed it to be in/near Coolah, NSW.
You are right though, I've travelled Australia and seen it in every State and Territory.
