a question from my children
something deadly serious here - well it is to them:
what is the equivalent of robinsons squash in Australia - please don't laugh, they love the apple and pear / summer fruits and pink grapefruit. I've told them that you can't buy it in aussie supermarkets so they are prepared to try other drinks.
can you buy squash or is it coridal - i can't remember from our holidays out there. I remember a vile green looking drink that they liked, but I wasn't keen on them having too much of it.
thanks in advance

This has made me laugh, my son who's 8 will only drink Robinsons peach fruit & barley 
When we went to Florida last year, we had a hells game trying to find him something to drink!!!! 
Think we can put a few crates in the container

Re: a question from my children
You can get lime cordial (for lager and lime 
) and also lemon barley water at Woolies. The other cordials are ok too. I drink Cottees Orange Cordial which is quite like UK squash. There's heaps of flavours including apple and blackcurrant. I'm sure the kids will be fine!

There's loads of fantastic flavours to experiment with. Latest favourite is the apple and kiwi. The raspberry is very popular too. Coltees is a good make.

My daughter is a coltees fan too. Used to always drink peach or apple and blackcurrent robinsons. Now she's into the apple and kiwi coltees.
