    In a country that rejected Borders and Starbucks, could Amazon really sway Australia’s love for local commerce?http://nyti.ms/2gvJVod

        I'm a coffee snob. Live in Queensland's coffee region in the Far North. Anything else is dismal compared to the local produce. #FNQ #Mareeba

        Or maybe the old-fashioned idea that our neighbours are more important than anonymous corporate entities...

        Still hanging on in Brisbane, too. I think it’s mainly tourists who go there, though.

        Not actual Starbucks though - revenue was too low, the company left Oz and licensed the brand to 7-eleven.
