Oh weird. Always just assumed it was widely available, but guess it's a pretty regional thing popular in areas bordering Mexico, and in the South for making grits.
Not sure what shipping is like, but maybe you can get it online if you ever wanted to make it?
Hominy itself is dirt cheap around here. Like 2 bucks and change for a 30oz can.

Like everywhere, ethnic food got brought over by immigrants, so Australia is heavy Italian, some Greek, and various South East Asian cuisines. The newest wave is Afghani. "Mexican" has until recently been basic stuff filtered through the US, like tacos and nachos. When I ate at a really good Mexican place in Sedona, AZ it blew my mind, I don't think stuff that good exists here. I think it also blew the waiter's mind, some of the stuff I was asking what it was, he looked at me like I was a moron
