Step one. If you don't know something, make it up.

I wasn't sure that it was Braemar SA, just a punt on further searching I

James (who could have saved trouble and not guessed where Braemar was...)
P.S. There's also a Clyde Engineering at Bathurst, which is big enough to
have suburbs, one of which is Braemar (more a housing estate rather than a
suburb), but the CE works isn't in the housing estate.
