Australia cheap eats

British influence can still be felt in the gastronomic delicacies available in Australia, such as fish and chips, for example, and that which Australia has really made into its own speciality - the meat pie with sauce.

However, such purity of diet has changed in recent years by the influx of immigrants from nations and it is common to find dishes of Italian, Greek, Chinese and other Asian origin.

In point of fact, one can find almost any type of food in Australia - and one can find it in all price ranges. Some of the restaurants are very good indeed, but if you are on a limited budget you can still find tasty food in a diversity of ethnic styles at reasonable prices.

Mr. MacDonald has established his hamburgers in every corner of the nation, and Colonel Sanders is not far behind with his fried chicken. Almost every corner shop can sell you the ubiquitous meat pie, and usually has some other similar delicacies also. Ifyou have a good appetite, the counter lunch will solve the problem. Most hotels (pubs) serve a hearty lunch at a modest price.Often these meals are very good value, especially if you look around a little before making your choice.

If you really want to save money, though, you need to cook for yourself, which is easy enough for those staying in backpackers hostels, where kitchen facilities are provided. Visit the supermarket late in the day when some bargains will be available, and then you can live quite cheaply.

Clubs are also great value. All you nee dot enter is a driving licence. passport or something to show that you not local to that club. If you are local you have to join and that does come with other benefits.
