The Most Australian of Australian Restaurants

"Many Australian chefs make use of Indigenous ingredients, but there’s nothing like trying them prepared by a First Nations chef. At Booln Booln Cafe on Victoria’s surf coast (about an hour’s drive southwest of Melbourne), get stuck in strawberry and Davidson plum tarts, lemon myrtle cream cinnamon buns, and Blakbrews teas infused with pepperberry and wattleseed. Local musicians sometimes drop by to play a few tunes, and there’s a wildlife sanctuary next door where kangaroos and emus are waiting to try and steal a nip of your choc and wattleseed cookie." - Alexandra Carlton
