  • Things you can't buy

    August 27, 2006

    Apart from the obvious things (Marmite, Marks and Spencer undies) there are some things that I just can’t find for sale in Australia. Starting today I’m going to document them here. This will be a very occasional series but let me start with this inaugural list of things you can’t buy in Australia; Streaky bacon. Middle or Back? Certainly. Streaky is not to be found anywhere. Electric lawn mowers. I’ve only got a hankie sized back lawn, I don’t need a 2 stroke petrol mower.
