After arriving in Australia, the ungrateful sods then set about pining for 'ome and, in total disregard for reality, the names of the objectives of their homing instincts was stamped on many unlike places. Thus the locatity of Loxton in the Murray Mallee to some poor suffering soul resembled Loxton in Somerset. |

Cheddar cheese comes mainly in Mild, Tasty And Vintage Styles. Those are the common three that you will find on the Supermarket shelf.
We have Bandaids and Elastoplast here. http://www.chemistwarehouse.com.au/i...993/150_CW.jpg Bandaid at www.chemistaustralia.com.au http://www.elastoplast.com.au/riot-u...90/plastic.jpg Elastoplast at http://www.elastoplast.com.au Those big bags of tasty shredded cheese sometimes look like the shredding and packing took place 6 to 12 months ago. :) |
