He's a Kiwi, not an aussie!! :D

I thought forsters, though I've never actually had the stuff. I don't think anywhere even sells it here, but all the OS tourists seem to know it!

According to Wikipedia (but don't rely on this in court) ....

New Zealand is one of the few western societies where home distillation is legal. In New Zealand, stills and instruction in their use are sold openly.
