Easily !!!  Australia and Sydney in particular is a very multi-cultural
society with a tremendous range of cuisines from many ethnic origins.  You
really won't need to bring your own.  (Our customs people may get cranky
otherwise - they are very protective about our mainly disease free
agricultural and horticultural industries)

There is a very large population of both european / mediteranean and indian
/ asian origin with a considerable variety of spicy foods.

If you do come to Australia, please feel free to write and I can provide
some specific places to go to eat.  Of course our supermarkets also have a
very wide range of 'ethnic' foodstuffs if you prefer to cook for yourself.

James
