Sorry, I missed this.

The butcher is on the corner of Orrong Road and President Street in
Welshpool/Carlisle. If travelling east, away from the city, it is on
the right hand side before you get to Leach Highway.

There is also a shop selling SA products on South Street in Canning
Vale, if travelling east from Kwinana Freeway it is just before
Bannister Road on the left.

I am going to try a few more soon and will let you know what they are
like.
