I am pretty sure any paper like wrapper would do the trick but minties and fantails are what I can remember doing it with as a kid (and I think the only appropriate lolly wrappers available here). I guess you can pass this on as an Australian thing you learnt. Have fun traveling, I would love to visit Western Australia. Enjoy the amazing landscape.CountryMousehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06799779599751379129noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3639786345727326246.post-63231742399420363102018-01-02T15:09:10.308+10:002018-01-02T15:09:10.308+10:00Hi

I wish I could see hundreds of trees changing colour with the season. Not so many do that here in Australia and those that do are from overseas. I am glad you enjoyed my blog and you are welcome any time.

I remember the pictures on the wrapper being funnier that the new ones but maybe that was just my (more) childish humour then.

I never thought about Violet Crumbles (mind you they are super tasty and remind me of my Pop). Who knew originally made in Melbourne.
