GUSTO
Flavours of Australia
Grilled barramundi
A native fish from warm northern waters and a coastal barbecue staple.
Meat pie
The Australian road classic, eaten with one hand on the wheel.
Barossa or Hunter Valley Shiraz
Iconic vineyards that defined the Australian expression of the variety.
Australia is best travelled by road, and its food follows that rhythm: beach barbecues, meat pies at country petrol stations and a glass of Shiraz at day’s end in a vineyard seasoned by generations of sun. This is food made to share outdoors, never at a formal table.
