AN ESSENTIAL GUIDE TO AUSTRALIAN CUISINE
Australia may be famous for its love of a good “barbie”, but in a land as diverse as this, a continent where you can travel from the scorching heat of the outback to the misty hills of the Blue Mountains and everywhere in between, it would be madness to reduce Australian cuisine to a few smoking coals.
AUSTRALIA
Soak up Australia’s stunning landscapes from the picturesque beaches of Western Australia, to the national parks of Tasmania. Taste your way through Australia as you visit award-winning wineries, visit local communities and perfect your selfie photo’s with some Western Australia locals, the quokka’s on Rottnest Island.
When to go: Australia makes for a great destination all year round.
NEW ZEALAND
New Zealand is home to some of the world’s most breathtaking landscapes, from vast mountain ranges and volcanoes to hot springs, lakes and glaciers. An Insight journey through Aotearoa, the land of the long white cloud, will provide you with experiences to engage all your senses.
When to go: There is no bad time to travel to New Zealand.

What to Eat in Australia and New Zealand
Premium Dining on Every Tour
Australian and New Zealand cuisines are markedly different thanks to their unique indigenous and aboriginal histories, as well as the endemic species found on each island. However, look to the dessert case and you’ll find crowd-pleasers for both.
Anzac biscuits are sweet, buttery rolled oat biscuits that derive their name from the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps (ANZAC) of the Great War.
It’s disputed whether Australia or New Zealand created pavlova, but both countries keep this meringue-based dessert close to their hearts – across each country you'll find a variety of different sizes, fillings, and toppings, though fruit and cream generally feature.
Yet another treat found on Australian and New Zealand menus is the Boston bun, also called a Sally Lunn by the Kiwis; this large spiced bun is slathered with coconut icing and served with a cup of tea.

Did You Know?
Oceania is the world’s smallest continent.
Although many people label Australia as a continent, it’s actually part of the Oceania region. Oceania is effectively all of the insular areas between Asia and the Americas, which includes Australia, New Zealand, Polynesia, Micronesia, and Melanesia. Europe, the second-smallest continent on the planet, is approximately 1.5 million square km larger than Oceania. Oceania, however, isn’t the least populated continent; that title belongs to the third-smallest continent, Antarctica.
