Australia Our Home (105)
serene56: Too right jj .. I've lost count of the number of times I've considered going to Uluru then figured it was gonna cost me in the region of a grand for half a week...
No wonder we go to SE Asia and Bali.

Yep, You're so right Serene, It's pretty sad when we can travel overseas less than a domestic flight here!
wash2u: Edgel brand is now owned by the Yanks (can't recall the name of the company). The company operates 2 big plants in Aust and now the only ones doing Aust canned and frozen food, one in Bathurst and one in Launceston, and not just under the Edgel brand. And only use Aust products. They are having a hard time competing against imports so are now working closely with the farmers to try and improve productivity and reduce the costs SO THEY CAN KEEP OPERATING.
I went to the chemist to get hay fever headache tablets and was given "Chemists Own" brand. Okay, the chemists get together and market a Home Brand. So I thought ............ "Made in India."
Will go out of my way to buy Aussie brands. Must remember to take my glasses with me to read the lables

I believe there is much we don't realise when we are out shopping. I won't discuss how the Australian Icon, Vegemite is now owned by Americans... as are Arnott's biscuits. But closer to home... toilet paper... The only supermarket brand toilet paper (of the softer... no tears variety) that is wholly Australian owned and made is Quilton. Sorbent is Australasia and Kleenex is from the US.
I personally like to support small business, so I shop locally and in smaller businesses if possible. I know that since returning from London at the beginning of August, I have been shopping at Coles only once... because I choose to do the majority of my shopping at local businesses.
As for where the thread owner was taking us... I am proud to call Australia home... Love it here, love how we do things. We make mistakes and changes are made... but I wouldn't call anywhere else home.
