FAVOURITE AUSSIE FOODS
AUSTRALIANS LAY CLAIM to wonderful food creations, some more ingenious than others, yet our attachment to our Aussie food 'classics' suggests that it is the simpler things that take our fancy.
Whether at a family Christmas feast at the height of a scorching Australian summer or barracking at a local footy match in the depths of winter, Australians enjoy foods that suit our laid-back lifestyle.
While the origins of many of our favourite Australian 'food groups' (e.g. the meat pie) lie elsewhere, we've proudly adopted many as our own.
Here are five sweet and five savoury Australian foods that will pluck at your Aussie heartstrings to remind you of days spent around the good old Australian backyard barbecue, lounging on the beach or simply the everyday.
1. Pavlova Legend has it that, inspired by the Russian ballerina Anna Pavlova during her 1926 and 1929 tours of Australia, Western Australian chef Herbert Sachse of Perth's Hotel Esplanade created a desert recipe that was as light as the ballerina herself. The Pavlova has a wispy meringue base, smothered in a layer of freshly whipped cream and topped with fresh fruit and tangy passionfruit pulp, it's no wonder it has stayed firmly cemented in modern Australia's food culture. The origins of the 'Pav' are, however, disputed, and New Zealand has claimed that their cookbooks have older versions of the light, summer dessert. To this day, it remains one of the great bones of contention between us and our Kiwi cousins.
2. Chiko roll Australia's love affair with the simple Chiko roll began back in 1951, when it made its NSW debut at the Wagga Wagga Agricultural Show. Frank McEnroe – a boilermaker from Bendigo, Vic. – invented the cabbage, carrot, onion and beef stuffed snack. He originally designed the Chiko roll as take-away food at football matches; the intent being to make a snack that could be held in one hand, the other hand would of course be occupied holding a cold beer. Belying its name, the Chiko Roll contains no chicken, and was inspired by the popular and much smaller Chinese spring roll, claimed by Chinese Australians as their own.

3. Meat pie The great Aussie meat pie, though a cultural icon, was not developed here, but it has long held pride of place in the affections of Australians both young and old. First records of the Aussie meat pie come from early colonial days, when they were sold by vendors from street-carts – most famously by the Flying Pieman whose athletic feats are the stuff of legend. Nowadays meat pies are ubiquitous, found in sports club canteens, service stations and gourmet bakeries. The meat and gravy filled, flaky pastry case has earned its place in Australian culture, and the 'Official Great Aussie Pie Competition' has been a national event since 1990.
4. Splice Introduced by Streets Ice Cream in the 1950s, Splices developed almost a cult following. The unconventional ice-cream, coated in a layer of fruit flavoured ice was an integral part of beach culture in summer, reaching peak popularity in the 1970-80s. Originally in 'pine-lime' flavour, a raspberry version was introduced later, and is still enjoyed by Aussies today. The catchphrase of Streets' 1963 advertising campaign was: "You'll jump for joy, it tastes so nice, it's Streets' sensational, raspberry Splice!"
5. Lamingtons There are many versions of the lamington's origin, and it is still in dispute whether it was in Australia or New Zealand that sponge cake was first dipped in chocolate icing and rolled in desiccated coconut. One legend has it that Lord Lamington of Queensland was served the treat by his personal chef in 1900. Upon tasting this new delicacy, he requested it be named after him. Today the lamington can be found in every true-blue Australian bakery and features in almost every CWA (Country Women's Association) recipe book, where it may well have first appeared - in times when waste was frowned upon - as a way of using up imperfect or stale sponge cake.
6. Sausage sanger Given Australia's love of the outdoors, our superb weather and the rise of the portable barbecue perhaps it was inevitable that the 'sausage sizzle' Australia's answer to the US 'weiner roast' and a mainstay of community fundraising – was born. And what better way to serve a sizzled snag but in a sausage sanger? As simple as a single slice of bread folded over a sauce-drenched sausage has also become a classic lunch-time meal for Australians and reflects our love of slang – sanger being a venerable term for sandwich. Authorities even tailored infrastructure – from the 1970s introducing public barbecues to many parks and reserves – so that they can be enjoyed pretty much anywhere.

7. Weet-Bix Now the breakfast choice of Australians, Weet-Bix was first produced in Leichhardt, an inner-Sydney suburb, in the 1920s. Its creator, Bennison Osborne, wanted to bring a "budget- friendly health biscuit" to the Australian breakfast table .Since then, the high-fibre breakfast biscuit has been served with lashings of milk – hot or cold – and hastily eaten before the dreaded sogginess sets-in. During WWII, Diggers on the South Pacific front were sent their Weet-Bix, a testament to their popularity and perhaps their durability. The company expanded to New Zealand early on, and Sir Edmund Hillary – who with 'Tiger' Tenzing Norgay was the first man to reach the summit of Mount Everest – ate them on his celebrated expedition. Ironically, early on Osborne sold his creation to Sanitarium, because it had proved so popular.
8. Anzac biscuit The creation of the Anzac biscuit was a joint venture with our New Zealand cousins across the Tasman. Developed during WWI by the womenfolk in soldiers' families, the first Anzac biscuit was not as we know it today. Originally called a 'soldier's biscuit' or 'ANZAC tile', it was very hard, designed to supplement the Diggers' bread supply. After 1915, the modern Anzac biscuit developed from this primal food into a much-loved combination of oats, flour, coconut, butter, golden syrup and bi-carbonate of soda; a delicious combination of ingredients which could stand the long journey by ship and road to the trenches.
9. Neenish tart De rigueur for country town bakeries, the Neenish tart also has its origins shrouded in obscurity. This gelatine-set cream-filled delight, traditionally iced in pink/brown, brown/white or
white/pink combinations, is said to have originated in 1913, in the Grong
Grong, NSW, kitchen of one Mrs Ruby Neenish. Legend has it that she was preparing tarts for a kitchen tea, when she ran out of cocoa for the chocolate icing; her quick-witted inventiveness leading to the bi-coloured tart we know and love today. However, the first known recipe for Neenish tart was published in the Daily Telegraph of Launceston, Tas., in 1903.

10. Vegemite In 1922 businessman >Fred Walker commissioned a young chemist, Cyril Callister, to develop a spread from used brewer's yeast – that would have otherwise been dumped – a naturally high source of vitamin B. The unlikely product was named 'Vegemite', a name drawn from a hat after being submitted in a national naming competition, and marketed by Walker as "delicious on sandwiches and toast, and improving the flavours of soups, stews and gravies". Since then Australians have developed an almost jingoistic attachment to their breakfast and sandwich spread, and still sing along to 'Happy Little Vegemites', an advertising jingle first heard on the wireless in 1954.
Australian Landmarks 1. Kata Tjuta
Kata Tjuta is a series of huge ancient rock formations spread out over 12 miles in Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park in Australia’s Northern Territory. The 36 domed rocks are one of two landmarks in the park; the other is Ayers Rock. The sandstone rock formations are believed to be about 500 million years old. The highest dome is called Mount Olga in honor of Wurttemberg’s Queen Olga, Tsar Nicholas I who celebrated her 25th anniversary here. Kata Tjuta is sacred to the aboriginal Anangu people who’ve lived in the area for 22,000 years and are joint managers of the park.

2. Cable Beach
With 13 miles of gorgeous white sand beaches, Cable Beach is one of Australia’s iconic beaches. Located in Western Australia’s Kimberly region, it’s a must if you’re into beachcombing or sunbathing. What makes Cable Beach so colourful is that it’s sandwiched between red ochre cliffs and the azure blue waters of the Indian Ocean. Take a romantic camel ride along the beach at sunset – sunsets over the Indian Ocean are like no other. Or, if you’re a shopper, the nearby town of Broome is a good place to pick up some South Seas pearls gathered by Broome’s pearl divers.
3. Ubirr Rock Art
You don’t have to be a Grandma Moses to appreciate this primitive art, some of which dates back more than 40,000 years. These 5,000 drawings, which have been painted and repainted over the millennia, represent one of the largest collections of rock art in the world. You’ll find them at Ubirr in Northern Territory’s Kakadu National Park. The drawings represent the lives of the aboriginal people who lived here. The drawings, some of which were painted just 2,000 years ago, are detailed representations of man, animals, fish and plants – all things the early people dealt with in daily life.

4. Twelve Apostles
Once part of the cliffs that lined the Southern Ocean, the Twelve Apostles stand proudly in the water at heights of 150 feet or more. Formed by erosion, they died by erosion: There are only eight Apostles still standing today. It’s generally believed that, in time, erosion will create more limestone pillars, but probably not any time soon since it took millions of years to create these. A popular landmark in Victoria, the pillars are best viewed at dawn or dusk. This natural wonder is truly an awesome sight, both above and below the water.
5. Great Barrier Reef
Stretching more than 1,200 miles along the northeast coast of Australia, the Great Barrier Reef is another place to enjoy nature at its finest. It’s the world’s largest coral reef, comprised of 2,500 reefs and 800 islands. Formed millions of years ago, the reef is an underwater wonder, just made for exploring by scuba divers and snorkelers. Or you can see it without getting wet on a sailboat or catamaran cruise. You can even see it from outer space. In addition to fabulous coral formations, here’s what you may see: several species of whales, dolphins and sea turtles plus saltwater crocodiles, and hundreds of birds and amphibians.

6. Sydney Opera House
If there’s one thing that modern man has made that is the symbol of Australia to the world it is the Sydney Opera House. Completed in 1973, the Sydney Opera House quickly became an iconic landmark not only in Australia, but also the world as well. Sitting in Sydney Harbor, this famous building resembles shells that you might find on the beach IF you could find impressionistic concrete shells. All this concrete is supported by more concrete: 588 pillars sunk 82 feet below the water. The Sydney Opera House is a performing arts centre with multiple venues to showcase Aussie and international talent. 7. Kings Canyon
Kings Canyon in the Northern Territory is about as awesome a canyon as you’ll find anywhere. It may not be as deep as the USA’s Grand Canyon, but the scenery is nothing short of spectacular. It’s a good place to dust off those hiking boots, but do stay on the trails at this Watarrka National Park destination. That’s because part of Kings Canyon is a site sacred to the aboriginal peoples. One walk takes you down to the bottom, at Kings Creek, where you can experience the rugged canyon from a different perspective.
Juliana Village Activities Program – January 2019
8. Ayers Rock
Ayers Rock or Uluru is probably the most famous rock in Australia. Standing 1,148 feet above its barren surroundings, this limestone monolith goes even deeper below ground. Ayers Rock is located in southwestern Northern Territory pretty close to the geographic centre of the country. Ayers Rock is about a five-hour drive from Alice Springs.
WHAT ARE AUSTRALIANS LIKE? Australia is considered one of the most egalitarian nations in the world that embraces human equality, mutual respect and acceptance of others. There is no segregation between people of different incomes or backgrounds and everyone is free to live where they like, attend university and follow whichever religion and occupation they choose.
Australians place high value on friendships and are usually relaxed, casual and informal when it comes to greeting someone. In both the workplace and among friends, Australians generally call each other by their first names and shake a person’s right hand when meeting someone for the first time. Other physical contact should remain minimal until you are more familiar with the person.
Australians show respect and establish trust by looking one another in the eye, however they don’t have as much physical contact (hugging and kissing) as other cultures. You may find that your Australian friends have difficulty pronouncing your name, at first. Be patient and prepared that you may need to repeat your name or say it slowly at the beginning. As friendships develop, you may find that your friends give you a nickname, which is very common in Australia and is a form of endearment.
Juliana Village Activities Program – January 2019
Sporting culture Sport is an integral part of the Australian culture, with sporting events a favourite pastime for many Australians. Sport has largely shaped the Australian national identity and is also seen as a great way to socialise with friends and come together as a nation, state or club.
Popular sporting events include the State of Origin, Melbourne Cup, AFL Grand Final, NRL Grand Final, Boxing Day Test and GC600 on the Gold Coast.
Men and women In Australia men and women are treated equally, regardless of their gender. Women make up nearly 50% of the workforce and many remain in the workplace even after they have married or had children. Women also have the right to breastfeed freely in public.
There are no social regulations or laws regarding friendships or dating in Australia. Friendships with members of the opposite sex and social events with both sexes are common. It is also common for couples to live together before they are married or for men and women to live in share-house accommodation together. People in Australia generally do not have servants or maids and both men and women equally share the cooking and domestic duties in the home. Clothing Australian dress codes can alter depending on specific environments and locations. Corporate professionals are usually required to dress in smart-casual clothing, while more labour-intensive jobs may require steel-cap boots, hi-vis wear and hard hats to ensure safety precautions are met.
Juliana Village Activities Program – January 2019
For the general public, there are no laws or regulations when it comes to clothing. However, some venues and restaurants have specific dress codes for appropriate clothing and footwear.
Australia is a diverse society and clothing choices reflect this. Many people will dress to suit their personal style, climate or situation. Wearing traditional clothing for religious or customary purposes is also widely accepted in Australia.
Celebrations and holidays Australians celebrate a number of key public holidays and special events throughout the year. Some hold national significance or commemorate a past event and are remembered with a public holiday. Some businesses, banks and shops may close on these days. Our national public holidays include:
New Year's Day (1 January) Australia Day (26 January) Good Friday Easter Monday Anzac Day (25 April) Christmas Day (25 December) Boxing Day (26 December).
All other public holidays such as Queen's Birthday and Labour Day vary between states.
