Australia’s indigenous peoples who managed the land for more than 60,000 years. We always take our international responsibilities seriously and work friendly with other countries to promote security and peace. Over 65,000 in 1947, Australians have served more than 50 peace and security operations in the whole world. We have an open and economy.

Some facts are conspicuous and well known, such as being the country superintend for the Boomerang people. There are Wine Casks (of course, an Aussie would come up with this invention!) and others are still being disputed like as the Pavlova. Did an Aussie or Kiwi invent it? We will never know for certain. Either way it’s a dessert!

All over history, Australian inventions have to assist shape the society we live in. One of the most critical inventions used in every day is the Black Box on airplanes. This important equipment is used on every flight and has helped passengers to understand the cause of plane crashes and make air flight safer. Exotically the Black Box is usually bright orange it’s not black.

Another important invention is the refrigerator that invented by James Harrison in 1856. He is the principle of vapour compression which is invent the world’s first ice making machine and refrigerator. We need this to keep our water cool!

We have the famous Tim Tam biscuit, Vegemite (it not be to everybody’s taste but it is an Australian Icon food), Lamingtons and meat pies. Please don’t forget about the Akubra hat (Aboriginal for head covering) which is worn by many stockmen and farmers, Stubby shorts and Thongs. And don’t forget about the clothes line! Officially named the Hills Hoist after its inventor Lance Hills; it is a rotary clothes line that is in most Aussie backyards.

Local food taste is a big part of any holiday. If you’re new to Australia, you’re showing a friend round or you just want to expand your own horizons, Australia has plenty of all unique food options to suit all tastes.

Chicken Parmigiana is a classic Aussie chicken dish – with roots in Italian-American cooking – is a staple offering on pretty much every pub menu in the country. Originally eggplant based tomato sauce, melted cheese. This food is served with salad and chips, although there’s a split between those who think the chips should be under the paty and those who think they should be on the side. 

Surf and turf food is a combination of seafood and steak which served together. With the huge array of seafood in Australia such as oysters, Balmain bugs, calamari or yabbies’, this is a must. Australia is producing some of the best beef in the world. Hot tip, make sure you try this in a coastal area to ensure you get the fresh seafood.
