Piper Navajo/Chieftain in Australia

The trusty old workhorse of GA, been used on Reg203/RPT, charter, night freight, air ambulance, skydiving, survey and target towing.

But I am trying to find out which was the first Navajo, Chieftain and Pressurised Navajo to come to Australia.

I am lead to believe that PA-31/350 VH-TXD was imported by Ansett General Aviation in 1975 and was sold to AirTasmania and based in Hobart to replace DC-3 MMF on RPT in Tasmania.

Likewise PA-31P BSF was imported by Bib Stillwell in 1974.

But any leads on the Navajo?

Regards
