WHAT CAN WE EAT?

PAVLOVA DESSERT

This is a dessert with meringue discs, many whipped cream and fruit. Super sweet. Today Australians New Zealanders are competing with their invention.

  

LAMINGTON CAKE

Other typical dishes of Australia is the Lamington cake. We are already talking about sweet dishes as it is very spongy cake is square and combines chocolate and coconut. It is believed that this cake is named after Lord Lamington, Governor of Queensland between 1896 and 1901, because it looks like they used to wear hats. Others say the name derives from a village in Scotland.

MEAT CROCODILE OR KANGAROO

Australians used to eating crocodile that it is very palatable and has no resemblance in taste to any other meat, you might find in a flavor somewhere between chicken and fish. The ways of cooking meat are different but the important thing is that the preparation should avoid exposing the meat for a long time because it resecaría fire leaving the meat tasteless and juice.

AUSTRALIAN TRADITIONAL CHEESE

Australian traditional cheeses: blue cheese, hard cheese, eye, cheddar and cheddar-style cheese, sliced ​​cheese, cottage cheese and unripened cheese. If you buy cheese in Australia or stop in front of the supermarket even get away with doubt remember that the very name of the cheese will give you the answer about what kind of cheese.

MUSIC AND CINEMA

Theatre and performance arts are especially good in Sydney and Melbourne; the Sydney Opera House (www.sydneyoperahouse.com) regularly hosts the country's top orchestras and opera companies. Melbourne is Australia's cultural city.

THE WEATHER

Australia is in the southern hemisphere and the seasons are opposite to those in Europe and North America. There are two climatic zones: the tropical zone (in the north above the Tropic of Capricorn) and the temperate zone. The tropical zone (consisting of 40% of Australia) has two seasons, summer ('wet') and winter ('dry'), while the temperate zone has all four seasons.

- Spring to summer (October to March): Warm or hot everywhere, tropical in the north, and warm to hot with mild nights in the south

- Autumn to winter (April to September): Northern and central Australia have clear warm days and cool nights; the south has cool days with occasional rain but still plenty of sun

The biggest music festival on the calendar, the Big Day Out now tours Sydney, Melbourne, Perth, Adelaide and the Gold Coast, as well as taking in Auckland. It traditionally draws some of the biggest international names in rock, dance and hip hop, as well as boasting leading Aussie acts.
