Next year I have a relative visiting Australia and New Zealand and they have offered to bring anything back for me if there is something specific I would like.

Now the obvious manufacturers that sprang to mind were Swazi and Swanndri but I really don't need any clothing.
I have my eye on something from http://www.campingwithhillbilly.com but beyond that I can't think of anything.

So if you were in the same position would there be something that has taken your fancy that is only available in Australia or New Zealand or perhaps something that you can get in the UK but is too expensive over here?

I've a hillbilly comedy sized frying pan which I love to bits but consider Southern Metel Spinners as well if your looking at a oven, cheaper and bombproof.

i've the 12 and 15 inch ovens and they are great bits of kit. I got cases from these folk for all three.

mind I got them way back when there were a lot more Aussie dollars to the pound.

Bum. Hillbilly now make a even bigger frying pan, 410mm. Can I justify all the effort for a extra 80mm dia? I don't think I can.

Cactus Climbing gear. Their packs are superb and very well made and their trousers are virtually indestructible! Based in Christchurch, New Zealand, they will mail stuff to the U.K. but you'll get better access to their kit down there.
