Yo im from melbourne too, and yes, these getafix's are wonderful. And its true theyre named after the wizard from asterix. In my opinion these new ones arent as strong as the last batch (from around december) but they are still really really good. Just to point out, the 200 on the back stands for 200 micrograms, so really theyre supposed to be the same strength as the december getafixs, but they just didnt seem it (still strong though!). They seem cleaner than i remembered the older ones. And yes these would be a really good trip to take for a first timer, theyre really visual but still quite clean. Take a half to start with and give it a good 2 hours to kick in, cos getafix takes ages to get going, then eat little pieces to keep topping up. These are one of my favourite T's ever! eat em up!
Also, remember that acid is HUGELY affected by how you store it and for how long. You should always keep your acid folded in a piece of foil or something similar so it can breathe, and keep it in a cool place. If you keep in in a plastic baggie it will sweat and ruin it. My friend kept his getafix (same batch) in a plastic baggie in his wallet for a week and the acid didnt affect him at all. Be kind to your cardboard friends, kids.
