Check out http://www.pag.com.au/online.htm#AUSTRALIA. I am assured by the information on this that you can get Edam and Parmesan in Oz.

Don't worry mate. You can buy your tasty cheese pre-grated out there. No more tiresome grating for me when i want to create a gourmet cheese on toast

From what i saw out there, you can get quite a few varieties of fromage. Even Bi-Low in Mount Gambier (pop 25k) had a couple of different blues. They were damn expensive though....

Only cheese i did'nt see, that i am hoping i will find in a deli or somthing is Brie. Its my favorite.....so i pray i find some !!

Holidaying in France and enjoying the fantastic food is pure bliss. Ditto in Italy.

of course!! thanks for the advice. Maybe a few sweaty footy socks will speed the process.

The friends that went to France - one is a South African - hated the French BTW - but loved the food and country.
