Typical Aussie Foods to Try | Gourmet Adventures | Tourism Australia
Six quintessential Aussie foods for you to try.
Ask for ‘smashed avo’ (avocado) at a café and you’ll fit right in with the locals. There’s no cure better for a big night out quite like the morning-after Bacon and egg roll, reinterpreted by different cafes, offering their own twist on this nation-wide classic. Got a sweet tooth? Every Aussie kid grew up eating lamingtons. This cube of chocolatey sponge coconut cake goodness is another iconic treat appropriate for any occasion, from kids’ parties to weddings and high tea with Gran. The mighty Aussie meat pie is perhaps the most iconic Aussie food and is certainly a must-try. Best served with a generous amount of tomato sauce on the sidelines of an Australian Rules Football (AFL) game. If you’re a seafood lover, you’ll be spoilt for choice in Australia. You can’t beat some simple fish and chips by the beach – but don’t forget to ask for chicken salt on the chips! Aside from beer, Australia’s coffee culture is maybe our most beloved drink of choice. You have to try a flat white – It’s creamy, velvety and strong. Easily one of the most popular coffee orders down under

Top 5 Craft Breweries in Australia | Gourmet Adventures | Tourism Australia
A lovingly crafted guide to Australia’s top five craft breweries.
Among the list of craft brew royalty: Sydney’s Young Henry’s, a Rock-n-Roll paradise for the local and nation-wide brew enthusiasts, home to the famous Newtowner Pale Ale. Can’t drink a brew without a burger to match? Try Canberra’s Capital Brewing Co. and their award-winning tap paired with something delicious and cheesy from the Brodburger van. If you’re a sucker for Brisbane’s balmy weather and outdoor beers, Felons Brewing Co.’s blurred indoor-outdoor waterfront brewery under the Story Bridge will absolutely be your jam. For the more accomplished beer aficionado, Western Australia’s Matso’s Brewery in Broome is best known for its creative brews, giving you a thrilling step outside the lager/ale ordinary. Be sure to taste their chilli beer or beer infused with lychee or mango. For those who value the brewery atmosphere as much as the brews themselves, St Andrew’s Beach Brewery in Victoria’s Mornington Peninsula boasts their signature paddock-to-brewhouse approach, creating some seriously good craft beer located on an old racetrack turned farm.

Top 5 Wildlife Events| Nature & Wildlife | Tourism Australia
An animal-lover’s guide to the top five must-see Australian wildlife events. The majesty of Australian wildlife is on show year-round, so no matter when you visit, you’ll be lucky enough to catch these spectacular events!
From November – January you can watch mother nature roll out the Red Crab Carpet on Christmas Island to see up to 50-million bright red land crabs march to the ocean to breed, and weeks later as they trek back to the forest with baby crabs. Whale Sharks migrate through the waters of Ningaloo Reef between March and July. Swimming with these gentle giants is an extraordinary and humbling experience you cannot pass up. Watch mother turtles lay their eggs on beaches in the summer months of November – January on the Southern Great Barrier Reef. You’ll adore seeing the hatchlings bravely scurry from under the sand to their new ocean home where you might get the chance to swim with them. Manta Ray Mayhem on Queensland’s Lady Elliot Island is a thrill-seekers must-do. From July – September, swim with the giant kites of the sea during the winter months, and if you’re lucky you might witness a hypnotic feeding frenzy. In July, you get the chance to snorkel with thousands of giant cuttlefish, changing colours before your very eyes on South Australia’s Stony Point; the only place in the world where the mass migration of cuttlefish occurs.

Must-Do Whale-Watching Experiences| Nature & Wildlife | Tourism Australia
Get a glimpse of these mysterious creatures in the majesty of their natural habitat with these unmissable Australian Whale Watching experiences.
If it’s Humpback Whales you’re hoping to spy, you’re in luck! Humpbacks are Australia’s most commonly seen whale, renowned for spectacular breaching. You can find them in Ningaloo Reef, Western Australia, Hervey Bay, Queensland or strolling along the Coogee to Bondi walk in Sydney. The curious Dwarf Minke Whales visit the Great Barrier Reef in June and July each year, and it’s the only place in the world you can interact with them. If you’re lucky, you might hear them sing underwater. Southern Right Whales often come close enough to spray you with breakwater at Lady Bay, where the new mums are closely guarding their new calves. During the migration, you can spot these noble water giants at Great Oyster Bay, Tasmania, Flinders Bay, Western Australia or during a drive down Great Ocean Road, Victoria. Blue Whales – Earth’s largest creatures – are ironically the hardest to find! Seen in the Geographe Bay in Western Australia in September for a limited window, try your luck at spying these shy water giants.

Top 5 Cutest Animals| Nature & Wildlife | Tourism Australia
Are you #teamkoala? Maybe #teamwombat? Whatever your penchant, we reveal Australia’s top five cutest animals, and where you can visit to grab that quokka selfie you’ve always wanted or snag a cuddle with a kangaroo.
Quokkas have been dubbed the happiest animals on earth, and it’s not hard to see why. These smiley creatures are native to Rottnest Island in Western Australia and love the social life that Rottnest Island tourism affords them. If it’s a quokka selfie you’re after, the best time to spot them is mid-late afternoon. There are approx. 50 million Kangaroos in Australia and there are plenty of places across the country to see them. Try the Kangaroo Sanctuary in Alice Springs where you can nurse a baby Kangaroo or ‘joey’ and get up close and personal with these national icons in their natural habitat.
Wombats are found in the southern parts of Australia and Maria Island in Tasmania is a hotspot for them! These Fluffy little boulders love eating grass and burrowing into their network of holes, so enjoy your day of picnicking around their hiding holes. What not to love about koalas? Spot them in the wild bushland throughout Australia or cuddle one at Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary in Queenland. Australia’s most widely spread native mammals, the Echidna, is everywhere – but they’re very shy! Although they’re spikey, they have a very cute snout and waddle. You can meet an echidna at Kangaroo Island Wildlife Park.

Three Days in Brisbane | City Guides | Tourism Australia
Brisbane is the sunny, nonchalant free spirit city you’ve been waiting so long to chill out with.
Kick-off by meeting the locals – including the flora and fauna – cuddling a Koala at Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary. That signature balmy Brisbane air will lead you to take a cheeky afternoon dip at Streets Beach – Australia’s only inner-city man-made beach. Take your Brisbane fling just outside the inner-city with a 90-minute ferry ride to Moreton Island, where you will have the chance to kayak the island’s sunken Tangalooma shipwrecks, feed some local dolphins and snorkel among colourful, tropical fish that call the island home. Make one of your three days a golden one with a sparkling safari of Gold Coast hotspots and local attractions. Hire a car, drive down to Burleigh Heads and get salty with a quick surf lesson, then take in brunch at Paddock Bakery – the Gold Coast’s most awarded café for a reason!

Three Days in Darwin | City Guides | Tourism Australia
Darwin is the fun-loving, outdoorsy adventure-seeker city you’ve always wanted to try.
Start your trip an hour out of the CBD towards the Adelaide River on the Spectacular Jumping Crocodile Cruise, getting you up close – but not too personal – with these fascinating prehistoric creatures. Did you pack your swimmers? Your Darwin fling must include the unmissable Litchfield National Park; known as one of the world’s most mesmerising natural aquatic parks. Sneak in a morning dip at the spectacular Wangi Falls; a great spot for a picnic, a bushwalk or a swim. You haven’t really been to Darwin until you’ve done the original Helicopter Pub Crawl. Finish your north-Australian adventure by flying over billabongs, bush, creeks and coastline while making some pitstops at five authentic outback pubs. Join the locals for a beer and a bite of home-grown snacks, ales, lagers and the best pub-talk you’ll ever find.

Three Days in Sydney | City Guides | Tourism Australia
Sydney is the effortlessly glamourous Aussie city that you’ve always had on your bucket list.
Start your visit on top of the world with an early morning Sydney Harbour Bridge climb for uninterrupted panoramic views of the city. Keep the love affair with the world-famous harbour going with an Aboriginal heritage tour around the Royal Botanical Gardens or hop on a ferry at Circular Quay and cruise across to visit some of Sydney’s most exotic animal residents at Taronga Zoo. Close the day out with some signature Sydney-style glamour: sunset drinks under the wings of the iconic Sydney Opera House’s Opera Bar. Catch a glimpse of one the most famed beaches on the planet with a morning surf lesson at Bondi Beach or dust off the sand and dine on the balcony at Bondi’s wildly popular Icebergs restaurant overlooking the entire beach and cliffside.
Now you’ve done Sydney’s glamourous inner-east, make a move to get your urban creativity and culture fix in Sydney’s inner-west. Be sure to take in the wildly unique and eclectic art experience that is White Rabbit Gallery in Chippendale, home to the world’s largest collection of Chinese contemporary art.

When Jodie Wyers was in her early twenties, her chances of becoming a mother were slim.
Today, she has become a beacon of hope for women all over the world.
At 23 she had been diagnosed with lymphoma. The life-saving treatment she needed, would likely render her infertile. Attempts at saving her eggs via IVF were unsuccessful.
Her only chance of motherhood was an experimental method of ovarian tissue storage and grafting. No babies had ever been born from the method.
Nonetheless, Ms Wyers underwent the procedure. It worked.
Ms Wyers became only the second woman in the world to have a baby after an ovarian tissue graft. Her daughter Evie is now five. Even more incredibly, she has given birth to a second, spontaneous baby.

What does it take to convince a young student to leave their law degree in pursuit of a career in dance?
For Joel Bray, it was the sight of a flock of finches weaving through a bare tree in Bathurst.
“They seemed to be doing it purely for pleasure,” Bray said. “I observed that they were dancing. In that moment I decided to quit my law degree and study dance. The finches told me, on my ancestral Wiradjuri country.”
Now, Bray's avian encounter has inspired a dance piece that is set to be part of Sydney Dance Company’s return to the stage for the first time in 12 months.
Read more about why Bray's finches are the perfect metaphor for social distancing at the link in our bio.

Lisa Alexander coached Australia's national netball team, the Australian Diamonds for nine glorious years.
During this time she held a successful tenure: 102 matches made her the most capped national netball coach ever.
Despite two significant losses by a single goal apiece, the Diamonds never shifted from the top spot in the sport’s world rankings from the day she was appointed.
The team was dominant and scandal-free. During the nine years, she was in charge, Australia’s men’s cricket team churned through three coaches. The Wallabies? Three. Socceroos? Four.
So why was she fired?
For the first time, Lisa Alexander has spoken publicly about the circumstances that led to her firing. Read the gripping article at the link in our bio.

"If it wasn’t for ballet, I may have been an HIV victim."
For 40 years David McAllister has been a member of the Australian Ballet and spent the last 19 as the company's artistic director.
Coinciding with his retirement, McAllister has recounted his experiences and relationship with ballet, revealing how he struggled with self-doubt and confusion about his sexuality.
Reading his book could almost be a primer for other gay boys who are coming through, shrugging off the abuse and name-calling and being more determined than ever to make their own way.

From poetry to Indigenous culture, via Taoism, cinema and his own bare bum (his acting roles still often require that he drop his dacks, at 80!)... a conversation with actor Jack Thompson is wide ranging and thoroughly enlightening. We have Robert the Robot to thank for it; the personal dialysis machine is keeping this living legend alive. Click the link in our bio for the interview with Megan Lehmann.

Premiers of the two main states, Gladys Berejiklian in NSW and Daniel Andrews in Victoria, are fighting to survive, yet for completely different reasons their plight raises serious questions about integrity, competence and corruption in Australian politics.
Daniel Andrews now presides over a cover-up whose full dimensions are yet to be revealed, but Berejiklian is in more immediate trouble under the spotlight of NSW ICAC.
