Shopping excursion to Sydney (forum)

ringelstrumpf starts with ...
Come spring I must go to a shopping excursion in Sydney. There are so many seeds and plant parts to be found in Asian and overseas shops! For example I'm searching for chufa or tigernut.
Were should I begin? Penrith, Blacktown were are all these Asian, African or South American shops???
(We don't go very often down into the city)

I had a great day in a place called Cabramatta. I really thought I was in a street in downtown Asia, remarkable. when I was there a few months ago, fruits in season included Pinks mammoth custard apples, Santols, Amberellas, different varieties of Dragon fruit amongst other very interesting stuff for sale on the day. I bought a Durian just to try it for the first time. I will force myself to buy another one, I'm sure I will eventually like it. While there, I visited an excellent fruit tree nursery at Canley Vale, not far from Cabramatta.

Other than Santols and Amberellas, those fruit are available in the local Woolworths most of the time, Is that not normal?. I feel the same way about Durian, I buy them once in a while believing I'll love them sooner or later since in theory it has so much promise... but it hasn't happened for me yet

I'll go to Cabramatta. Has a train station too (I get lost in Sydney), it sounds a bit like dead goat.
