Yup, it's global convenience store, I live just down the road at Springwood...up on top of the hill near the Enviromental park.  I love the chutneys from there and you can normally get some good value fruit and vegetables from the Big Gun fruit shop...although I don't rate the butcher.

I can't remember which one I normally buy although I would recognize it if I saw it. I will try and call in on my way home from work on Monday and see which one it is.

Hey I know exactly where Eight Mile Plains is-we stayed there last time we were up that way.  8) 8)

So much good info . here.   I buy Laucke flour in 10 k.  bags for $20 from Safeways of Coles.  Cost $1 to make 8 rolls or a large loaf.   Yeast is included.  I also use 1/2 and 1/2 bread flour and cake flour in biscuits.

Cookie, next time you're up this way you'll have to let us know and you can come over to my mad house LOL. Thanks so much Stacelee, it would be great if you could find out the name of it, do they call it bread flour ? Like I've looked at other flours that are for chapatis etc and wondered if they were the same thing.  I'm not in a huge hurry though, just next time you're in there would be great.

I thought I would post the flour that I use for making bread for the U.K. members.I love the Wessex Cobbler Flour, the Soft Grain Flour and the Whole Grain Bread flour.I can buy it locally and have great results with it.Useful that they do mail order if there isn't a stockest near you.

Chookie,
I'm at Eight Mile Plains, about 20 mins south of Brisbane city (in off peak traffic that is).

Ohhh Stacelee, was just reading over this thread again and just been filling my husband in about you buying a Kenwood as well, you crack me up ! I think my husband's sitting there thinking ohhhh no here we go she's not going to want a Kenwood next is she lol. Anyhow back to my reason for posting again in this thread. I go to the Big Gun fruit shop all the time (was there yesterday actually) and have to totally agree with you about Big Gun Butcher. We buy all our meat from Super Butcher at Yatala, you just can't go past them for quality and price. Have you been there ?  One of our favourites from there is Spicy chicken breast tenderloins (they're the same as KFC use, but slightly mis-shaped). We buy them and have them on wraps for a quick dinner some nights or lunches here and there. They're mince is lovely too, we don't buy it anywhere else now. My husband's become fussy with his steak and only likes it from there too.  Anyhow, I need to go to bed, enough from me.

I'm off to Garden City this morning...............the one in Perth not near you Debbiebillg. Is it still there? We found it a useful shopping centre.

I haven't made it to SuperButcher yet...keep saying I will go and never getting there.  My daughter does cheerleading at Beenleigh and I should drop her there and keep going but there is always something else to do.  Currently it is getting ready for a holiday :(, why is it always almost too much work to to on holidays?????......I'm currently flipping between working on accounts at the computer and high pressure cleaning our way too much concrete so that our pet sitters don't kill themselves when they feed the animals.  Working from home today seemed like such a good idea!!!!!  At least my 15 year old is being kind enough to cook lunch for me so I can keep working.  I'm very fond of him today.  Still haven't made it back to Global Trading, maybe tomorrow

Yes I know what you mean about too much work to go on holidays. Such a lot to do hey. No worries about the Global Convenience store, no hurry at all.  Super Butcher is definately worth the trip. There's one at Waterford now too. If you sign up on their website they email you their weekly specials, which is usually how I work out when to go (gotta love a bargain). Sometimes they do premium mince for $4 a kilo. Great value. I just got their xmas specials email, if you want me to send it on to you, send me your email address.
Cookie1, yes Garden City is definately still there, tis our favourite haunt ! My husband's a shopaholic so we're there quite a bit. Haven't been to the Perth one though. We're spoilt for choice with shopping centres now aren't we.

I've been very happy with Kialla flour - a list of stockists is here.  It isn't called baker's flour on the packaging, but have been using it for 18 months for my bread (and everything else).
