British Bikes / Simplex in South Australia?

I’ve now cleaned up the Simplex engine number records and can answer the odd question about them but want to ask one of my own.
Simplex were sold by Turner Bros, 291 Elizabeth St, but in the back of my mind is that they had strong South Oz connections? That they were just a branch of a South Oz firm? That they also sold Levis that were imported through South Oz? Whatever the case, I mentally associate Turner Bros with South Oz.
If so, did they also sell Simplex there. Simplex numbers are low compared to the Utility. For the number involved it doesn’t seem worth the bother.
