<\/p>\n

Australia really is a cracker of a country, with its beautiful beaches, stunning landmarks and our favourite vegemite on toast, we really are the \u201cLucky Country\u201d!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

It\u2019s easy to see why we\u2019re such a proud bunch.\u00a0We certainly have a lot to be proud of and one of the best ways to show\u00a0this\u00a0is to buy Australian made.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Buying Australian-made strengthens the economy,\u00a0and as an Australian business, COS is loud and proud about working with innovative Australian companies. We take pride in promoting and supporting other Australian-owned businesses, including Indigenous suppliers. We want\u00a0future\u00a0generations to enjoy the benefits of Australian-made for years to come.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

In celebration of Australia Day we\u2019d like to\u00a0<\/i>take a look<\/i>\u00a0at some of our\u00a0<\/i>favourite<\/i> Australian brands and products.<\/i><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Arnott’s Biscuits<\/strong><\/h2>\n

From these humble beginnings Arnott\u2019s grew in to the huge company we all know and love today.\u00a0<\/span><\/span>Although they\u2019re now technically owned by USA Campbell Soup Company, t<\/span><\/span>hey\u00a0<\/span><\/span>still\u00a0<\/span><\/span>employ around 2,400 Australians<\/span><\/span>.

<\/p>\n

Vegemite<\/strong><\/h2>\n

<\/p>\n

This list wouldn\u2019t be complete without Vegemite.\u00a0Every Aussie kid grows up on the stuff and when we travel, we take it with us, we ship it to our friends overseas and we hoard it in our drawers at work. It is THE Australian staple. The great news is that it is now not only Australian made, it is once again, Australian owned!! Hooray for Vegemite!<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
