Great, City super and parknshop all have golden syrup. t 2 types one ina green tin, the other in a plastic squeeze bottle - green tin type seems better.

Definitely go the green tin, the other is really syntheticy tasting sort of sugar syrup - not really flavoursome golden syrup. Wellcome (Jardine's lookout) or PNS Parkview) have it.
