Australia Queensland - Laid back & Sunkissed

Not surprisingly, all Queensland's favourite foodstuffs are locally caught or grown: seafood, steaks from beef cattle reared on the rolling plains beyond the Great Dividing Range and a veritable salad of tropical fruit and vegetables grown in local orchards and market gardens. Brisbane specialities include the Moreton Bay Bug (a kind of lobster), the gigantic Queensland Mud Crab, king and tiger prawns, barramundi and mackerel. To nibble between meals there is the famous macadamia nut, harvested from the only native Australian plant to have been developed as a commercial crop. Brisbane's Chinatown, north of the city centre, adds another dimension to the eating possibilities.
