Sift flour and sugar into large mixing bowl. Add oats and coconut; make a well in the centre.

Combine butter and golden syrup in small pan. Stir over low heat until butter has melted and mixture is smooth; remove from heat. Dissolve soda in boiling water; add immediately to butter mixture.

Remove from oven, transfer to wire rack to cool. Store biscuits in an airtight container for upto 3 days.
