Historically, Australian cuisine was based on traditional British cooking brought to the country by the first settlers. This generally consisted of pies, roasted cuts of meat, grilled steak and chops, and other forms of meat generally accompanied by vegetables (the combination known colloquially as "meat and three veg").

Modern Australian cuisines have been heavily influenced by its Asian and South-East Asian neighbours, particularly Chinese, Japanese, Thai and Vietnamese, and by the many waves of immigrants from there, and all parts of the world. Similarly, Mediterranean influences from Greek, Lebanese, Moroccan and Italian cuisines are very common with many of these influences arriving in Australia during the 1950s and 1960s. Fresh produce is readily available and thus used extensively, and the trend (urged by long-term government health initiatives) is towards low-salt, low-fat healthy cookery incorporating lean meat and lightly cooked, colourful, steamed or stir-fried vegetables.

Australia's wide variety of seafood is also popular and barbecues are common at weekend family gatherings. Barbecues are also common in fund raising for schools and local communities, where sausages and onion are served on white bread with tomato sauce or Barbecue sauce. These are most often referred to as "Sausage Sizzle

Australia's most famous wine is Penfolds Grange. The great 1955 vintage was submitted to competitions beginning in 1962 and over the years has won more than 50 gold medals.

В Австралии много кроликов, но австралийцы их не едят. Так же, как европейцы не едят крыс.
Другие несъедобные австралийские животные: ехидна, утконос. Эти животные изображены на денежных знаках Австралии.

Кенгурятине австралийцы предпочитают баранину. А пьют, я думаю, те же напитки, что и европейцы.
