First off, welcome. Second, what year is your Cruze?

Welcome! We have a few Aussies on this forum who might be able to help you. I'd also suggest making this request in the diesel section for more visibility as well.

Can it still be driven?

I think I have seen your post on the Holden Cruze Facebook page, I live in Sydney. The US diesel is a different engine and their manual would be useless. Are you in a motoring organization similar to the NRMA, as they may be able to help you find the cause. If you have the series one engine 2009 - 2011, it will be different to the series II 2011+. I have an owners manual for the series II but I don't think that will help much. This may sound silly, but see if your dipstick is bent as I know of 2 different cars that developed a knock only to find a bent dipstick was being hit by the crankshaft.

Its a 2010 model...

Thanks, I will give it a try...

No can't be driven...lost power and the noise sounds like something is broken internally...

Thanks for the tips...it is a 2010 model so probably the series one engine. so far I have removed the rocker cover and all looks ok so my next move was to remove the camshafts...that's why I'm chasing a workshop manual as its a little complex to do a feel as you go job
