Petals Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 Nothing, each State is so different that the things you miss in Perth may be available in Perth, Sydney and Adelaide as we have different laws. We have daylight saving We have 24 hour shopping Can't help you with the sausages or the bacon Huttons Bacon is the one I would say is the nearest to the stuff in UK.

starlight7 Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 I really, really don't get it with the sausages- I thought British sausages were bland and pretty vile. Ho hum, we are all different aren't we? I guess some also like the apology for icecream they have over there, too.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VERYSTORMY Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 Food in general - Quality is generally crap in Oz Related - good restaurants where you dont need a mortgage to eat The weather. I am a cold weather person Countryside Pubs Good beer Friends Houses that are built with even a small degree of care and thought Not been ripped off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thistle13 Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 Friends / Family and Bisto (when we unexpectedly run-out). Ha. I remember when I migrated here, a friend asked me if I would bring 6 packets of Bisto to her daughter in Melbourne. You'll eventually become acclimatized. I will take Gravox back to Uk with me when I go......lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul B Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 (edited) mmmmm sausages. Managed to find: Good Tea Passable bacon English real ale (in bottles, but brewery in Wagga making English ales so quite close, see next item.) Giving a taste of the real ales without charging for it! Topping the pint up without an arguement. Giving back a bad pint without an arguement. Oh yes.........a good curry with some taste!

The main issue I had with gravy powder was all I ever seemed me make was a lumpy mess! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anika Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 Tesco's Clothes shops especially River Island and Primark Trebor Extra Strong Mints (although I have now found a shop in Brisbane that sells them) Brother's Strawberry Cider Apple and Raspberry juice, particularly Tesco's Sungrown range (and no the cordial you can buy in the supermarket here is not the same, I've tried it and didn't like it) That's it I think :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NicF Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 My OH misses Marigold rubber gloves. And my youngest misses Vimto (has to be sugar free version). Only been here since july and haven't really tried buying new clothes or shoes yet but I've seen loads of shops with nice looking things in so I don't think I'll miss the clothes shops either. Can't think of anything I miss really. Found lots of new things that I love though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't know why tho, it seems to taste better in Scotland with a fat greasy vinegar soaked chip in my other hand.
