What are the best Australian products? (other than RMWs)

[TheWraith]

Boags or Cascade are pretty good.

I'll add a vote for a Driza-bone jacket, had one almost 20 years ago.

If you start off with Miranda Kerr and the subject matter implicitly excludes Alessandra Ambrosio, then subsequent letdowns are all that can be expected.

Yep, that is pretty nice. Moo Brew and Knappsteins are good too. Have you tried those? I actually find a lot of Aussie largers pretty dull, having recently spent a few years in Old Blighty. I had heard the rumour about Crown being Fosters re-branded for domestic consumption - would not be surprised.

No one has mentioned red wines from Coonawarra - along with Margaret river, the best red wine region in the country IMO (pinot noirs from Victoria and Tasmania notwithstanding). Most Barossa reds are like drinking alcoholic Ribena!

In terms of men's clothes, apart from RM Williams and Herringbone, I am struggling, unless you count surf wear: Billabong, Rip Curl, Quicksilver are ubiquitous the world over.

I would rate vegemite too, but it takes an Aussie to love it!

^ No a big fan of Fat Yak, have had it on tap twice. Am a fan of McLaren Vale reds.

Choice of beer for this summer:

 

[beebleb]

I'm in WA. I have Fat Yak on tap about 70 metres from where I'm sitting.

The best Australia can offer....The best centres in the world and I'm still crying since the 1999 final.
