Breakfast laksa in Darwin, NT

There’s no better place to explore the decidedly Darwinian habit of breakfast laksa than Parap Village Markets, Saturdays from 8am. A steaming bowl of spicy broth may not seem the optimum choice on a warm morning, but try telling the laksa lovers who hotly debate Mary’s recipe versus Yati’s. Judge for yourself by joining a queue snaking past stalls offering fruit smoothies, Vietnamese rolls, Cambodian pancakes and Indonesian satays. Or make your judging official by diving into the Darwin International Laksa Festival, held every October. Multiple venues compete for the People’s Choice and Inspired-by-Laksa awards and the coveted Golden Bowl.

A Conti Roll in Margaret River, WA

Is this the quintessential WA lunch? The Continental Roll has its purists who’ll denounce anything deviating from its roots. Homesick Southern European workers would buy loose rolls, cold meats and antipasto at The Re Store or Di Chiera Brothers to make a sandwich and the signature creation was born – Contis made to order. While both Northbridge stores claim to be the 1950s originator, a new generation of Conti-makers, like Inglewood-based Deli’s Continental, vie for Conti champion at the Subi Spritz festival each March. The recent reopening of Di Chiera Brothers after an eight-year closure will make competition even fiercer.

Oyster escapades in Coffin Bay, South Australia

Sitting right on the water’s edge in this idyllic holiday hotspot, the Oyster HQ is a one-stop shop for indulging in Coffin Bay’s culinary claim to fame. For a completely immersive experience, pull on a pair of waders and take a partly-submerged seat in a floating pavilion to sample your oysters. Prefer dry land? Head to the restaurant offering these briny wonders in 13 variations as part of a menu with a strong seafood focus. Finally, a vending machine out front dispenses both freshly shucked and closed oysters 24/7 – surely a better solution to the midnight munchies than a bag of potato chips.

Street food at the Lakemba Night Markets, Sydney, NSW

Fasting is an important opportunity for reflection and devotion during Ramadan, but when the fast breaks, the feasting starts. Nowhere in Australia marks the month-long occasion with as much exuberance as Lakemba in Sydney’s west, where food vendors from Lebanon, Indonesia, Pakistan, Syria and beyond line the charcoal-scented streets to sling deliciousness until the small hours. Stroll the suburb’s celebration-filled main drag and sample everything from curries and roti to camel burgers and cheesy knafeh. The best bit? The party runs for a month, so you can return again and again to give every delicious bite a try.

A leatherwood honey croissant in Melbourne, Victoria

Melbourne is no stranger to cult croissants, but this North Carlton fixture may well be one of its best-ever efforts. The bijou digs housing the fancily titled Montforte Viennoiserie sees queues lining up for the glossily perfect, left-of-centre takes on the French staple by pastry chef Giorgia McAllister Forte. The menu changes regularly, but Forte’s signature bake will never go out of rotation. Our favourite sees the crescent glazed with a leatherwood honey gloss and finished with fat flakes of sea salt that melt on the tongue and give an excellent counterpunch to the honey’s floral notes. Addictive? Oui.

A schnitty at the Sunshine Beach Surf Club, QLD

You don’t need to be a millionaire to enjoy uninterrupted beach views in Noosa. Sunshine Beach Surf Club occupies one of the most prized positions in the region, perched on a grassy dune with sweeping views to Peregian Beach one way and Noosa Heads the other. Choose from one of the club's two decks to enjoy the Queensland sunshine or balmy evening air and a glass of one of their astonishingly good-value wine choices. The family-friendly menu is globally roaming, and covers all the bases, from pub classics like a chicken parma or fish tacos to a chilli crab spaghettini.

A cheesy picnic on Bruny Island, Tasmania

This tiny island at the southern end of Tasmania punches well above its weight when it comes to artisan producers. With one main road from the ferry to the town of Alonnah, you can’t miss the highlights: slurp ocean-fresh oysters at Get Shucked, battle the crowds for samples at Bruny Island Cheese & Beer Co. and pick up a loaf of warm sourdough from Bruny Baker’s roadside honesty ‘fridge’. Hotel Bruny – the island’s only pub – does craft beers and burgers, too. Outsource the driving with Pennicott Wilderness Journeys’ producer-focused Bruny Island Traveller tour, which includes lunch overlooking Adventure Bay.
