If you are itching for a different kind of adventure, add Australia to your bucket list.

Being a continent, massive island, and country all rolled into one, Australia has its own wonders that keep visitors returning again and again.

With numerous cities, each with their own character, you’ll likely have your own favorite Aussie city. Sights, sounds, culture, and diversity – Australia will leave you mesmerized.

Due to the massive land area and geographical distance between major cities, each Australian region develops a distinct personality. These cities may share a similar vibe, but they are not completely the same. Traveling around the Land Down Under is never monotonous.

If each destinations’ personality is unique, then expect an even more diverse gastronomic landscape. With plenty of options to choose from, owing to the varying influences that make the country ethnically diverse, Australia makes for a great gastronomic excursion.

Queensland

Queensland’s subtropical climate, association with the sea, and almost endless shorelines give the city an expansive Food and drink selection. Seafood comprises its main offering, with a unique combination of Asian, European, and Modern Australian influences.

There are numerous restaurants here, as well as fruits rarely found in other parts of Australia, such as pawpaws, avocadoes, bananas, and mangoes.

Prepare for a mouth-watering experience as Queensland takes pride in supreme seafood choices. Sink your teeth into tiger prawns, sea scallops, mud crabs, and mackerel. The region is also tastefully scattered with wineries for that romantic dinner or laid back afternoon.

After your extravagant food experience, frolic the beaches of Queensland and experience the summery side of Australia. There will never be a dull moment, especially if all you need is a good dose of Vitamin Sea. Check out Hipmunk Surfers Paradise in Queensland when you decide to go.

Melbourne

Melbourne is a cosmopolitan destination for food choices, such that your choice of gastronomic treats all boils down to personal preference and budget.

You’ll find food trucks, cafés, specialty restaurants, and more. Pick your favorite cuisine, and there is a good chance you’ll find it in Melbourne.

However, if you’re after quick bites and other casual food selections, Melbourne is home to probably some of the most amazing burgers and take-outs in Australia and the world. Its residents’ diversity is one of the reasons why Melbourne has blossomed into a foodie’s nirvana.

Aside from being a haven for your picky palate, Melbourne boasts sights like the Shrine of Remembrance and the Melbourne City Centre. It showcases great architectural marvels that have captured travelers and photography enthusiasts’ attention. Check out Hipmunk Melbourne when you visit.

Darwin

Darwin is the pride of Australia’s Northern Territory, with its distinct mix of cultural, natural, and gastronomical offerings. It is home to several historical destinations related to navy and aviation, as well as natural parks and galleries.

Given its proximity to the South East Asian region, this city resonates with the region’s influence. Darwin is home to several national parks, such as Kakadu National Park and Katherine Gorge.

Darwin is somewhat a hybrid of Queensland and Melbourne. Due to its location and accessibility to the sea, seafood is celebrated here, just as in Queensland.

Being a rendezvous point for foreigners, it doesn’t fall behind in terms of international cuisines, such as Japanese, Italian, Indian, Indonesian, and Modern Australian. Many cafes here offer great views, making them perfect for a romantic sunset dinner. Darwin also hosts wine and food festivals throughout the year. Check out Hipmunk for Darwin accommodations.
