Some supermarkets carry it in jars but I'm not sure if it's really mollases or something processed to taste similar . If you know any dairy farmers ask them and they'll normally give you a couple of litres . Try a produce/stock feed place as well .

I live at Paddington (5 minutes from the city) and work in the city. I reckon the nearest dairy farmer is 400k away.

Feed and grain merchants, usually around semi rural areas where there are a lot of horses and hobby farms

I think Camden and Picton areas are a little closer than that . Try some big pet shops too as people often use it as a supplement .

but as far as the molasses goes...

head down to your nearest fodder store (bulk animal/horse feed)

they should sell it in 2 litre bottles..

Stupid question probably, but why molasses? What about it makes it such a good cleaner?

Just some (semi) useless trivia for mollases , if you get it on your hands or clothes sea water seems to wash it off easier than fresh water , don't know why but it works .
