Could it have something to do with the prevalence of cheddars in the US and Britain? (dunno about Australia, never been there, and while I've been to Ireland, I didn't happen to encounter cheese while I was there...)

  My first thought is that the problem may be with the type of milk.  Many 
    American and British cheese varieties are made with cow's milk.  The 
  two continental cheese you mentioned -- Gouda and Fontina -- are cow's 
  milk cheeses.  Might be worth looking into.
