In Australia, we CAN get strong tasting honeys, but 'normal table honey' (and the generic style honeys) is nowhere as strong in taste as Australian Golden Syrup. If a recipie such as Anzac Biscuits uses Golden Syrup, then attempting to substitute honey would produce very sickly results. So would Corn Syrup, which is available in Australia. Agave Syrup may be available in Health Food shops, but I have never seen it in Supermarkets. Australia is a sugar cane producing country.
