Talk to your tenant's association, or whatever passes for it down your way.
I've never heard of a tip which only takes cardboard; you should check that out.

If you want English Choc or indeed any English Food there is a english shop in Perth. Good luck and cheer up you lot. Can you now buy Mayonnaise(Helmans) cos that was what I missed most when I was in Oz, also proper bangers 'Snags'

Mint jelly is the jizz from the devils zits while good old British mint sauce is top drawer and has a far more complex flavour and it is made to a traditional style. Mint jelly LOL.

We import prawn cocktail skips. They wont let us bring in walkers prawn cocktail. They let us bring in vegetable suet but not the beef one. We also have proper mint sauce and vinegar and heaps more.

Hi there, first time I have replied as the other half. Sorry to be obtuse but why do you not get light evenings in the summer? Was looking forward to long light evenings in Perth when we eventually get there, especially walking our dogs.
