Yes but you will be able to make up for it with visits to Coles or Woolworths or Coles or Woolworths or Coles or Woolworths... :lol:

You will love fillets of kangaroo, vegemite on toast, milo and lamingtons and your affection for these antipodean delicacies may quickly make Waitrose nothing but a distant memory.
