Jim Arrowsmith from Chorley in Lancashire arrived in Australia as a 20-year-old backpacker in 2006.
After realising there was a huge gap in the Australian market for British foods, Jim and his mate Pete Tonge (real name) decided to make their own pork pies.
The pair of British travellers set up a pork pie factory on a pig farm on the edge of the Australian outback.
Fifteen years later, they now sell pork pies, haggis, black pudding and other British goods across Australia.

BRITstralian ® - Selling Pork Pies and Haggis in Australia
Transcript
Anna (00:20)
It's not until you go abroad, that you really appreciate the food you can get at home. For example, in Australia, if you go to a fish and chip shop, you have to ask for salt and vinegar on your chips, Otherwise, they'll give you something called chicken salt. I’d quite happily pay $5 if I could get hold of a bag of prawn cocktail flavored crisps. And pork pies, well-. Our next guest is a bright spark who decided to make his own.
