My church group has charged me with finding a drink that has a centenary component ie 1913 in it that can be used in our Centenary celebrations this year. I was thinking at first of Para Port but that only goes back to the 1930's I believe. Any thoughts guys? Has to be Australian.

You can still buy Para from 1892! The 1913 was released this year - $990 a half bottle.

Two slightly cheaper suggestions (thanks Google!)
I know you said "must be Aussie"but Valle Pradhinos from Portugal was established in 1913. Here is a link:
http://www.vallepradinhos.pt/index/history. Ironically (being from Portugal and all that) they don't seem to range a port!
An even cheaper and Australian option. McWilliams Hanwood vineyard, the first planted in the Riverina was established in 1913. Bingo!
