My favourite Aus Cheese is Tasmania's Mersey Valley. I dont think I've had a European Cheese as crumbly as that. Is there a comparative European cheese ?

I wasn't really comparing it to that TBH, I was thinking more of what you get at Waitrose etc. What I have had so far certainly compares reasonably to that, though less choice. The supermarket stuff is rubbish I agree.
So I would agree definitely worse cheese in Aus on the whole, but decent stuff is available if you look for it and tbh in the shopping basket its far from the most important item :-) (the quality of meat, fruit and veggies in Aus seems markedly higher and more worried about those)

Vic market is overpriced rubbish. I think Prahran is actually better for food. Well for the food I like anyway and usually get cheese from Prahran.

Vic Market is Starting a Night Market in Coburg from November onwards... expecting 5,000 people every friday.
Edit.... I'll have a look at Preston Market on my way home from work tomorrow, I doubt if they will have it though... maybe you never know.

Still can't believe Australia has a cheese called 'Coon' Cheese

If you find any good cheese in Brisbane, sing out! I've found decent mozzarella in a deli nearby (and I'll buy Kikorangi blue if I see it), but the rest of it is bland and rubbery so far

I think this place should produce some ... http://www.yorkeysknob.com/
ALDI do some half decent cheese but compared to ASDA it's 3 times the price.
