What to take?

[Lurckha]

Visited Oz back in '84/85 for a working holiday and took M&S bras and a bible for relatives, long break before going back in 2008 and taking Caramacs and Whisky, back again in 2011 and Germolene was requested. Will be back in Melbourne for September and wondering what I should take this time that maybe cheaper here in UK or normally unavailable in Oz................

The internet fixed this. Most thigs can be bought online from retaliers outside the UK. Oh and I love Germolene but they have Medi Quattro here which is the same but white and less stinky.

Having said that I will be shopping when I am back in the UK in August.

The advantage of living 20 minutes from Aussie Milton Keynes (Joondalup in Perth's north) is that there are 3 English shops within easy reach. Germolene is one of the things that my wife was please to find in there along with Roundtree Randoms and Bournville chocolate.

Shower gel.

(That's one for Hitch78...)

Dolly Mixture, Bassets jelly babies and Shreddies are what are missing for me! Think I can get 2 of them but not the Shreddies.
Local Coles sells Weetabix (Another name) and Alpen!

Could you bring some lane discipline? I don't believe it's available in Oz.

Unfortunately there are alot of car parts on Ebay UK which would be great to buy but no delivery option to Australia, so car parts are a good thing to bring over, unless you can organise delivery to a UK address of a friend.

Lane discipline is sadly lacking here too, still waiting for requests from the rellies and I refuse to take those M&S magic knickers over if they ask again !!! Don't mind taking the single malt over because I get to taste it too.

M&S do free delivery on grundies & knickers to Oz these days!

Decent single Malt. It's $100+ a bottle here, I enforce a "bottle per week stay" rule on my guests.
You can bring in 2.25 litres or 3 normal sized bottles.

Plenty of good Single Malts available for less than $80 a bottle if you know where to shop. Try harder......
