Knight Eaton
Mr Knight Eaton, manager of the Brisbane office of the Austral Cycle Agency, built a motorised bicycle in 1893.
The first motorcycle imported to Australia arrived in Brisbane in late 1895.
"What appears to have been the first power machine of any kind introduced into Queensland was a motor bicycle imported by Mr. Knight-Eaton, then manager of the Austral Cycle Agency (Queensland branch). This was put on at a sports meeting held on the Brisbane Cricket Ground, where it awakened considerable interest."

Knut
Registrations SA has the following entry:

This marque is not previously referred to in any way, apparently. The machine was likely fitted with a Blumfield engine referred to as the "Knut Cracker".
