I'm honestly not sure if it is sold in Australia?
A bit presumptuous of me, but I think most Australia's would regard
canning pumpkin to be odd thing to do. We treat it more as a fresh
vegetable.

Just did some googling, and there are many results where Australians
are asking where it can be bought. So it's a fairly exotic item here.
Then there is the small matter of definitions of 'pumpkin', because I
know what we call 'butternut pumpkins' you guys call it 'squash', for
example. Pumpkin pie also sounds strange to us too
