zorrosuncle Posted May 12, 2014 #1 Share Posted May 12, 2014 (edited) Hi -- When I was in Australia last October, I bought the most delicious eucalyptus drops. I will be back in October for another cruise. I think the name was "Powells," but the problem is I don't remember for sure. I bought them at a local convenience store near the Sofitel Wentworth Hotel, in Sydney. Can anyone of our Australian members clue me in as to the proper name of the product? They are not sold in the United States. But they should be! ZU Edited May 12, 2014 by zorrosuncle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tickford Posted May 13, 2014 #2 Share Posted May 13, 2014 Google is your friend. I have found Aussie Eucalyptus drops (available from Woolworths and other places), Bosisto's medicated Eucalyptus drops and Johnsons sugar free Eucalyptus drops, no Powells ones though. They should be freely available in any convenience store, Woolies, Coles and pharmacies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare MicCanberra Posted May 13, 2014 #3 Share Posted May 13, 2014 Will have a look next time I am in the shops but Powells doesn't ring any bells for me.:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare MMDown Under Posted May 13, 2014 #4 Share Posted May 13, 2014 I like Double "D" Eucalyptus Drops, as well as Eucalyptus & Honey. These are made by an old Australian company. You need to check labels, as not all Eucalyptus Drops are Australian made. You can get them from supermarkets. http://www.doubledproducts.com.au/shop/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kjets Posted May 13, 2014 #5 Share Posted May 13, 2014 IMHO emuridge dot com dot au is the BEST for eucalyptus oil and you can order online as I do every year and a bit for the oil and the soap :) It is a Kangaroo Island distillery that has been going for a long time.

Its the same in NZ...with Globalization its hard to know what comes from where .Not much is owned locally when you start delving into who owns what. Its the same with cruising. A big song and dance is made about how much the cruise industry pumps into the local economy. But does it? Even P&O Australia has all its profits siphoned off overseas.

The_Big_M Posted May 14, 2014 #9 Share Posted May 14, 2014 A big song and dance is made about how much the cruise industry pumps into the local economy. But does it? No need to say who makes most of the song and dance... the cruise business. Their actual contribution is actually quite small. Better than nothing of course, but often those statements are made when they're trying to get something to their benefit... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
