And now down to 80c a punnet:
Big supermarkets blamed for driving 'ridiculous' strawberry prices
Farmers are bitching - but that's par for the course

That's another thing I find marvelous about Australia. You and I live on opposite ends of the continent yet we are both eating strawberries sourced most likely from the same farms and we're paying the same prices for them. Regional pricing doesn't seem to apply very much here at all.
For example, our strawberries are twice the price but I'm still happy, due to distance you might think but further out west can often be cheaper. I suspect pricing is nominated by lack of alternatives!

Yeah, it was a side of the road farm stall type board with that price on. Not in a supermarket. Still a good price.
