Ladies and Gentlemen:

As legal counsel for Barbeques Galore Limited, an Australian corporation (the
"Company"), we are rendering this opinion in connection with the registration
under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, of up to 203,038 American
Depository Shares (the "American Depository Shares") of the Company which may
be issued pursuant to the exercise of options and purchase rights granted under
the Executive Share Option Plan (the "Executive Plan").

We have examined all instruments, documents and records which we deemed relevant
and necessary for the basis of our opinion hereinafter expressed.  In such
examination, we have assumed the genuineness of all signatures and the
authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals and the conformity to
the originals of all documents submitted to us as copies.  We are admitted to
practice only in the State of California and we express no opinion concerning
any law other than the law of the State of California and the federal law of the
United States.  We have not obtained opinions of counsel licensed to practice in
jurisdictions other than the State of California.

Based on such examination, we are of the opinion that the 203,038 American
Depository Shares when issued against receipt of the consideration therefor will
be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable. With regard to any opinion as
to the validity of the underlying Ordinary Shares, we rely entirely on the
opinion of Freehills, attached as Exhibit 5.1 to this Registration Statement.
We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the
Registration Statement referred to above and the use of our name wherever it
appears in said Registration Statement.

Respectfully submitted,

/s/ Gray Cary Ware & Freidenrich LLP
