We've gotten it from a few vendors over the months, like from Queen Vic market, Footscray, and most recently yesterday in Springvale Central.
My wife otherwise thinks they're all not fresh - it lacks the taste of when the young coconut is opened freshly chopped down from the tree. I thought it's so sweet it's almost artificial.
In my wife's home town home we have a rather large heavy knife. A few well placed hits is all it takes to get the water.
I spent 10 minutes banging a wooden spoon on a standard kitchen knife trying to open a coconut. I give up after the wooden spoon disintegrates, the coconut still closed.
My wife comes into the kitchen and swings the same knife at the coconut a few times. Less than a 30 seconds later, we have access to coconut water.
Step 2: With their friends, in total four of us, take turns repeating step 1 while watching YouTube.
Step 3: Celebrate too hard after finally spending almost 2 hours getting the damn bonnet open ... and helplessly watch as they accidentally smash the windshield with said bonnet.
Step 4: Connect batteries, start car, warn neighbour fuel is at 5%, pray that they have enough to gain enough charge to restart after refuelling.
