Observations of Australia

Arriving back in Australia after 11 years living overseas, I can't help but make some observations about the country that is again to be my home. The intervening decade-plus have brought some changes both in Australia, and to be fair - in the observer. One thing that strikes me so far though is how expensive Australia has become. For the Aussies reading this I have a message - "My fellow Australians - someone is having a lend of you!"

Aubergines - $9.90 a kilo
Baby courgettes - $14.00 a kilo
Bananas - $7.99 a kilo
A small jar of cashew butter - $7.99

And the vegetables are grown locally!

Blooming heck.
