I've done a few fundraisers here, and they are the best sellers every time.

Re: Australian sweets
Send anything made by Allens (that includes snakes) I always likes Allens Kool fruits and Kool mints, Allens are made in Melbourne.
Cherryripes are yummy but Violet Crumble is an Austrlian version of crunchie and not as good, Burger rings are another good one, nothing like them in the UK.

Re: Australian sweets
So good to have an Aussie on missing stuff from Australia! Makes a change to all the whinging poms!
Allens 25% reduced sugar lollies are lovely, no artificial sweeteners either!

Kool mints, My mum used to get them sent over when we lived in the UK and Jaffa's.
Hav'nt seen Jaffa's around for a while though.

I miss so much about Australia, I can't wait to go home but waiting for my husband to get over his travel bug! He loves it but I've really had enough!

Everyone at my work goes crazy for Fantails, they're alright but very chewy!
