Whats great about Australia?
The people
The life savers on the beach and the farmers in the bush; the larrikins; our sporting heroes, artists and visionaries; the volunteers who dedicate their lives to others; the spirit of pulling together in hard times and achieving beyond expectation; the eminent Australians from all walks of life, the battlers and the ordinary Australians who are anything but ordinary.
Our land
Fragile yet enduring. Harsh and extreme, lush and bountiful-a continent like no other. Our ancient land offers boundless opportunity, sustains us and makes us who we are.
Our diversity
A nation of difference and unity. People from the city, the country, different nations and backgrounds; we are one people, living together. Through our diverse beliefs and experiences we learn from each other and grow together.
The indigenous cultures
The rich and resilient spirituality; the knowledge, art and history. Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples are part of Australia's identity and culture.
Our freedom and democracy
A society built on fundamental rights and responsibilities. Freedom of thought and expression. Participation in government and respect for and equality under the law.
A fair go for all
An enduring spirit of mateship and fairness. A compassionate society committed to access to employment, housing, health and education. Ours is a land of opportunity where we can do anything.
Tim Tams
Every single Australian and visitor loves these chocolate biscuits (cookies). Similar to a British "Penguin", these treats are two biscuits sandwiched over a chocolate filling and smothered in chocolate.
It's maker, Arnott's, sell over 300 million biscuits per year.
Ross Arnott was looking for a name for his new biscuit and decided on "Tim Tam" after coming across a horse with the same name in the 1958 Kentucky Derby. The biscuit was first launched in 1963.
According to Arnotts.com 80% of people store their Tim Tams in the fridge so they are crisp and cool.
"The chocolate used to make Tim Tams has been specially developed by Arnott's to give a slightly caramel taste. The cream flavour is a delicate mixture of vanilla, butter and chocolate that complements the biscuit base and the chocolate. It's this unique cream which sets Tim Tam apart from any other chocolate biscuit."
Part of the Australian Culture
Any Aussie worth his salt will tell you the true way of eating a Tim Tam. First nibble off a corner from each end, dunk each end into a mug of hot tea (or coffee, hot chocolate or milk of course) and suck on one of the nibbled ends. Use the Tim Tam like a straw and you will be rewarded with a jet of melted cream filling. This is sometimes referred to as a "Tim Tam explosion" as the biscuit disintegrates after a while.
Sizes:
Tim Tam Fingers, Tim Tam Indulgence pack, Tim Tam Bar and Tim Tam Multipack.
Flavours:
Original, Chewy Caramel, Mocha, Double Coat and Classic Dark Chocolate, Special Edition Tim Tam Hazelnut, Limited Edition White Chocolate and new Special Edition Chewy Choc Fudge.
