Another "where can I get?" question
Sorry - it's only a small thing, but I've been looking for a vegetable scrubbing brush since we came to Oz and I cannot find one anywhere.
Veggie brushes are a bit different to ordinary scrubbing brushes as they have a stippled side on the reverse for tough-skinned veg, and a pointed end to remove eyes from spuds.
I can't understand why I can't find one - can anyone suggest somewhere I can try?
And if anyone has suggestions for somewhere that sells good microfibre cloths, I'd appreciate that too. Something else that's proving hard to find. I can get microfibre cloths here, but the quality of the ones I've found is crap.

But it's funny the little things that you take for granted and can't find here. I had a dreadful job finding a plastic washing up bowl that was big enough to do the job, but small enough to fit in the sink and now I can't find any yellow cotton dusters either....

If you are in Perth try Kitchen Witch in Joondalup for the veggie scrubbing brush.
Bunnings should have the dusters.
Good luck

Re: Another "where can I get?" question
I think the shop's called Robins Kitchen or something similar in Brisbane. In the same mall where Harvey Normans electrical shop is. Not much use to you if you're not in Brisbane of course.
