Default Getting UK food sent to OZ

First post since I got here. Place is great, people are great, food is great, but my other half wants some PG Tips!!!!!
Anyone know the best internet site for importing food to Australia.

In Melbourne there is a shop on Collins Street called "Treats from Home" and they sell all sorts of things including PG Tips, UK cadburys, bisto, paxo and so on. It doesn't come cheap mind but worth it for a treat now and again. Maybe there is something like this near you. I do know that a lot of deli's stock UK bits and pieces.

Make sure they are sealed, and you declare them, and no problem.
Little tip in supermarkets - look in "International Foods", rather than the Tea section for PG, or the Biscuit section fo Jaffa Cakes.
I'm doing well at present - Pock and Pay at Aspley has Jaffa Cakes, PG Tips, Mr Kipling assorted cakes, Foxes Glacier Fruits and Mints, Lyles Golden Syrup, and Homepride BBQ sauce........

I have found them in Coles before now, usually in the foreigh section. But I now use Bushells extra strong which aren't to bad.

There will be somewhere you can get them, but get used to another brand, if your planning your life here, you have to change, my kids did not like a lot of things, tough. Ten months on they got used to the different taste, no choice really. I am lucky i dont really miss anything. You dont want to waste good money importing things, good luck in your new life, Denise
