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.
