Who was the first Australian gold medallist?

The first man to win a gold medal for Australia was Teddy Flack who won gold in the 800 meter and 1500 meter runs at the 1896 Games in Athens. Not correct Edward FLACK was first in his event but they did not present medals He was awarded a wreath. So I ask now, which was the first Olympics to present medals: Gold, Silver, Bronze to winners? Edwin Flack won two events at the first Olympics, however winners were awarded an olive branch from Mt Olympia and a silver medal. The first gold medals were awarded at the Paris Olympics in 1900, an Australian, Frederick Lane, won gold in the 200 freestyle and the 200 obstacle course events. However federation was not until January 1 1901. He competed for England. Australia did not win gold in 1904 and competed as Australasia (combined with New Zealand) in 1908 and 1912. Our Rugby Union team won gold in 1908 which makes them first. The first World War followed. Australia first competed as a nation in 1920 but won two silver and a bronze medal. The first Australian, competing as an Australian to win a gold medal was Nick Winter in the triple jump at the Paris Olympics on July 12 1924. Andrew 'Boy' Charlton won our first swimming gold medal in the 1500 yards on 15 July 1924. As you can see there is a very diverse history behind the Olympics.
