It is easier to go out for something for lunch at a cafe and then eat cheese and biscuits in the evening. Ironically in front of Australian Masterchef.
There appear to be two basic types of Australian cheese. They call them 'Tasty' and 'Sharp'. You can also get 'Crumbly'. Sometimes you can get a mix, for example 'Sharp and Crumbly'. I think the cheese that I have at the moment is Tasty - at least that is its name. It is a bit of a misnomer.
The cheese aisle in the supermarket is very large, but mainly with varieties on tasty and sharp and crumbly. However, there is another important section - what might be described as 'mucked about with' cheese. Here you have cheese with the addition of fruit, nuts, spices, herbs, etc. Some of them very adventurous. Today we have apricot and almond (OK) and fig and walnut (more OK but it ain't no Boursin). I drew the line at the one with cinnamon in it because I don't think there is any place for cinnamon in cheese. But I may have cracked by the time two months are up.
The key saga continues. I have given details of my age, address, height, weight, next of kin, first born child, etc to the security people and they are getting back to me. In the meantime I am continuously grateful that I made the decision to go for an apartment with a separate bedroom, however small, so that 'working at home' does not mean perching on the side of the bed.
