Good luck,

AHi I live in Melbourne aus. I use a vegetable shortening from Coles I can't remember the name but it a block in a yellow wrapper located in the fridge section with the lard. Coles only stock it woolworths doesn't. I leave it out over night to soften and is so much easier to use than copha. Both my sister and I have used it and haven't had a complaint yet. Hope this helps a bit.
