| Australian Shopping in the U.S. One of the biggest pastimes of Australians in America, is craving after foods and other products that are just not available in the U.S. or even an equivalent. Some of the business' below are online shopping sites where you can order via the internet, and others are located in various places in the U.S.

- White Dove Farm - Can you imagine having a box of sweet, warm, fresh off the vine passionfruit delivered to your door? That's what White Dove Farm, based in California will do. I have ordered their passionfruit myself, and I was eating it for weeks! They balance the passionfruit so that some are ripe and others still have some ripening to do. That way none of them will go bad, and you'll be in passionfruit heaven for weeks. I can personally recommend this company!
- Australian Catalogue Company - This company is owned and operated by Aussies in America. You can get a regular catalogue mailed to you, and order via the internet. They stock everything for the displaced Aussie that you can think of, and I can personally recommend them.
- Simply Australian is dedicated to bringing top quality Australian products to the American marketplace. Whether you are looking for an Akubra hat, Rossi boots, Tim-Tams, Toothpicks/Chewing Sticks or that much needed jar of Vegemite... you will find most of the good things from "down under."
- About Australia is both a Travel Agent for Australian trips and an Aussie products store. They have some great travel packages to Australia - check them out!
- Australian Products Co - Also Australian owned and operated. Based in California, Aussie Products "Brings Australia to You". Plenty of Aussie products to browse through.
- Everything Australian - Owned and operated by an Australian family in Arkansas. A very large selection of Aussie products.
- Homesick.Com.au - Homesick.com.au is a great "keeping in touch with home service" for Aussies living anywhere in the world and includes latest news stories from Australia prepared especially for expats. One of the most popular features of the site is the Homesick Shop, which stocks the most popular Aussie goodies and delivers overseas - for even less than the cost of having someone at home send them
- Great Aussie Food offer you the tantalising tastes of Australia when you are far from home! Whatever you desire, be it the heavenly chocolate delight that is a Tim Tam or the crunch of some Burger Rings, we will deliver them direct to your door.
- Outback Restaurant - This is probably more American food than Australian food, but every time I go there they have more and more to offer the Aussie taste. Their decor is certainly in theme, which will help to make you feel at home. And their "Bloomin' Onions" are the best!
- iGourmet - Do you ever get a craving for some Australian fine food, such as King Island blue cheese, or some Tathra Beach pickles? This is an online store in America who imports these gourmet foods, so we save on those huge shipping costs!
- Australian Bakery Cafe - Yes .. it really is! An Aussie Bakery in America! Quite a few Mates Up-Over people have used this website's online ordering service and given high praise, both for the food and the service.
- Down-Under Bakery Pies are the first specialty/ethnic bakery to bring the authentic New Zealand/Australian experience of the culturally iconic meat pie to New York City. And you can order them online too!
- OzConnor's Video & DVD page - MUO is lucky enough to have this excellent resource as part of this website. Video & DVD conversion guru, OzConnor has everything you need to know about buying the right players to play your Aussie tapes and DVDs. He also has a video-conversion service with excellent rates.
- Aussie Pics - American lady, Lorrie Meyer who has fallen in love with Australia, has opened this lovely online shop for her Australian pictures products. Aussie Pics features beautiful Australian scenic photography on calendars, mugs, t-shirts, tote bags, postcards and more. Well worth a visit.
- Pumpkin Seeds - I doubt there's an Aussie in the U.S. who doesn't miss those Qld. Blue Pumpkins. Well, guess what? They grow quite well here too, and here's a website where you can order the seeds!
- Australian Outback Nursery - Yep, this is in the U.S. - in several states in fact. They specialize in Australian native trees and shrubs. I don't know if they ship plants, but it's worth a try.
- Organic's for God's Skin - An Australian company with a representative (Deli) from our MUO community. Natural cosmetics, skin care, and other health care products. They have a despatch in Nevada too.
