wishfulone Posted August 21, 2017 #4 Share Posted August 21, 2017 An Akubra Hat. It's an Aussie specialty made from rabbit skins and comes in many different styles. Mountain Devils are popular in the Blue Mountains and a photo of yourself with a koala is always a great souvenir. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my iPad using Forums Don't miss OUR macadamia nuts - chocolate coated are yum!! Agree with the Akubra, just ensure the real thing not a knock off Chinese ( you'll know by $) same with any dinkum thing you buy [emoji6] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

4774Papa Posted August 22, 2017 #9 Share Posted August 22, 2017 Would love to find a good meat pie in Sydney and Melbourne. Somewhere in city center. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GUT2407 Posted August 22, 2017 #10 Share Posted August 22, 2017 Would love to find a good meat pie in Sydney and Melbourne. Somewhere in city center. Some small shops make the very best. Among the semi-mass produced, so multiple outlets personally I'm a huge fan of Harry's Cafe-de-wheels. There are a couple in Sydney, again personal opinion but a trip out to Woolloomaloo and the original on the water is hard to beat. But there is one at Haymarket pretty much city centre. You should at least try a pie by itself or a tiger (with mashed potato, mushy peas and gravy). Garlo's pies are also very good but I'm not sure if they have a city outlet, you can get them cold in Coles supermarkets but you'd need to be able to heat them. Among the true mass produced Mrs Mac's are pretty good and if you are cruising from Australia with Princess they usually have them at the burger grill.

However, I agree the original waterfront location at Woolloomaloo is well worth a visit. (Nice walk along waterfront past Opera House or through the Botanical Gardens.)

Thanks I wasn't aware of one at CQ handy to know, as I'm an addict. One of the cruiselines carried them for a short time, strewth that'd jump that line in my ratings.
