Exhibit 8.2
                               October 31, 1997



Barbeques Galore Limited
327 Chisholm Road
Auburn, Sydney, NSW 2144, Australia

Ladies and Gentlemen:

     We have acted as counsel to Barbeques Galore Limited (the "Company") in
connection with the proposed offering of 2,350,000 American Depositary Shares
("ADSs") by the Underwriters.  Each ADS represents an ordinary share ("Ordinary
Share") of the Company.  The ADSs are evidenced by American Depositary Receipts
("ADRs").  The Ordinary Shares, the ADSs and the ADRs are described in the
registration statement on Form F-1 (Registration No. 333-37259) filed by the
Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission on October 6, 1997 (as
amended, the "Registration Statement").  (Capitalized terms used herein that are
not otherwise defined herein have the meaning assigned to such terms in the
Registration Statement.)

     In rendering the opinion set forth in the Prospectus constituting part of
the Registration Statement under the caption "Certain Tax Considerations--United
States Taxation", we have examined copies, certified or otherwise identified to
our satisfaction, of the following executed documents and are relying upon the
truth and accuracy of the statements, covenants, representations and warranties
set forth therein:

          1.   The Registration Statement;

          2.   The Deposit Agreement; and

          3.   Such other agreements and documents as we have considered
               necessary or appropriate for the purpose of rendering the 
               opinion.

          Based on and subject to the foregoing, we have set forth our opinion
as to the material United States Federal income tax consequences of the
acquisition, ownership and disposition of the ADSs and Ordinary Shares by the
U.S. Holders in the Prospectus constituting part of the Registration Statement
under the caption "Certain Tax Considerations--United States Taxation".

 
          We express no opinion as to other tax issues affecting the holders of
the ADSs or the other parties to the transactions described in the Registration
Statement, nor does our opinion address state, local or foreign tax consequences
that may result from such transactions.

          Our opinion represents only our best judgment regarding the
application of federal income tax laws under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986,
as amended (the "Code"), existing judicial decisions, administrative regulations
and published rulings and procedures.  Our opinion is not binding upon the
Internal Revenue Service or the courts, and there is no assurance that the
Internal Revenue Service will not successfully assert contrary positions.
Furthermore, no assurance can be given that future legislative, judicial
decisions or administrative changes, applicable either on a prospective or
retroactive basis, might not materially alter our opinion.

          We consent to the use of this opinion for filing as an exhibit to the
Registration Statement and further consent to all references to us in the
Registration Statement.  

                              Respectfully,


                              /s/ Brobeck, Phleger & Harrison LLP
