No, the reason I don't come South is that its too hard to find XXXX.

How soon do you need to have this stuff? I may be able to get some TimTams brought back in a week or two. I have some co-workers heading down and I can probably impose upon them to bring some back.

That would be cool!!! We don't need them until February 19th...

But how many do I need for 500 samples, and how much would it cost? They're 3.50 in the states.

Thanks for considering it!

They are about the same price in Australia and they don't pack well.

But they have to call it Mac-ahs or wrap up some Burger King food and call it "Hungry Jacks".

I usually stick with www.australian-food.com or for cheaper TimTams www.simplyoz.com. SimplyOz is out of WA and you can get Golden Syrup from them.

Golden Syrup is similar to maple syrup; except its made from cane sugar instead of maple sugar.

Milo is similar to Ovaltene, but tastes better.

Chalk taste better then Ovaltene.

We only use cork in our wines ... those cork hats are not worn generally - if that is what you are talking about? They might have done years ago in the outback - the corks are on the hat to keep the flies out of a persons face.

They also keep the hat afloat should you have a little too much Bundy.
