packaged breakfast

Weet-Bix is my only dietary link with Oz - Lyn brought me two small boxes when she last visited. Vegemite was not requested.

 

The local supermarket doesn't stock fresh milk, only UHT in plastic or laminated satchels. I have seen street vendors with large cans of milk dispensing it into plastic bags for the purchasers to carry home.

 

Coffee options are limited. Only instant for sale and mostly as premixed with sugar and whitener. It amused me to see in one supermarket small jars of Nescafe complete with a security tags (those tags that cause the alarms to beep as you exit). Caffeine addicts can be troublesome. However, the local white spirits are sold in 5 L plastic contains as one would buy turps from a hardware shop, and it is cheaper than the small jar of instant coffee.
