Can do without UK cheese and biscuits (after all isn't that part of the idea of moving to another country), but a good curry is essential to healthy living. Indeed, I believe that it may be one of the major food groups... ;) Anyway, has anyone managed to find a good curry house? :fingerscrossed: Cheers Jon

Here are some of the restaurants I have tried that are passable, but they are few and far between: http://www.natraz.com.au/Natraz/up/files/contact.htm sunday night buffet here for about $16pp all you can eat. http://www.yzage.com/Food_&_Wine/Ethnic_cu...=769&cid=116679 food is always spicy, even if a little dry but is edible. No indian beer worthy of note though. I think those small 300ml or so bottles of the kingfisher are available at some restaurants, but usually cost upwards of $6 per bottle so it's usually more economical to stick to the aussie beer or BYO wine.

That's a shame, 'cos I've found several good Indian restaurants here, & Kingfisher available, including in the local bottle shop. I guess it is all in the eye of the beholder & depends what you are used to..... ;) But then I tend to eat veggie Indian dishes and don't like the industrial strength 'burn your guts out' vindaloos etc - prefer subtle blending of flavors (a taste I developed while traveling in Rhajastan, incidentally). My advice: give some of the Dhals etc a go - you won't be disappointed. Damn - - now I'm virtually slavering.... ;) Cheers Anya.
