The info on Marmite should probably be on another post about where to buy British food products in Perth. The British shop in Kalamunda is good and has all the old favourites that you may not have seen or been able to get elsewhere. Apparently real British Marmite cannot be imported to Australia due to licensing issues. There is an alternative called 'My Mate' which you can by in some places. The Kalamunda shop imports the real Marmite 'on the sly' and that's why they keep it behind the counter. It's cloak and dagger to ask for it but its quite fun.

Oops sorry.

Gooseberry Hill is great. We live on the edge of Gooseberry Hill and we are walking distance to Kalamunda town centre or a 2 min drive. Kalamunda is a lovely town with a country feel but all the amenities you need. A great Farmers market each weekend and a craft market every month. It's only a 30 min drive to Perth city centre. The house prices are not cheap but you can pick up a nice place on a half acre block for the price you would pay for a townhouse in the suburbs closer to Perth. In Kalamunda they have a shop that sells all things British. They even sell real Marmite, that they import from UK. They dont have it on the shelves but you have to ask and they get it from under the counter. I work at Bibra Lake south of Perth and the drive takes me about 45min on Rowe highway.
