Sure. I follow the recipe that is included with in the Certo crystals:
2 cups hulled and thoroughly crushed strawberries
4 cups sugar
1 box Certo crystals
Add sugar to fruit, mix well and let stand 10 minutes.
Combine 3/4 cup water with Certo in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil and boil 1 minute, stirring constantly. Stir into fruit-sugar mixture. Continue stirring for a full 3 minutes. A few sugar crystals may remain.
Pour into containers filling up to 1/4 inch from rim. Cover with lids and let stand at room temperature until set. This could take up to 24 hours.
Store in freezer. If used within 3 weeks jam may be stored in refrigerator.
Note that Certo crystals are used, not liquid pectin. Also,the insert also includes directions for making other jam types.

I dont think we have Certo crystals in australia.

I would think any sort of dry pectin would work. here in Canada, it comes in 57 gram packages.
