Lion Brewing and Malting Company

Robert Cock, a "first settler" who accompanied Governor Hindmarsh on HMS Buffalo, and for whom Cox's Creek was named, has been reported as founder of the malting business.

Andrew Galbraith Johnston (1827 – 18 December 1886) and James Johnston (1818 – 12 April 1891) and three other brothers, all of Campbeltown, Scotland, arrived in South Australia on the Buckinghamshire early in 1839 with their father, who soon built one of South Australia's first malthouses and founded the town of Oakbank.

He was educated at Grote Street State School, J. L. Young's Adelaide Educational Institute and Prince Alfred College.
