We are a few weeks out from our Australia trip, I have quite a few of the top places to eat in both cities (HappyCow, Yelp, blogs,etc).
I am looking for something I might miss on those other resources and specifically anything else a couple of Vegans would find interesting in SE Australia and food in the out of way places. Here is our rough itinerary:
Sydney (2 nights) - staying CBD area
Blackheath(1 night) - going to Blue Mountains staying at apartment from AirBnb, wondering if it's best to bring food from Sydney (Go Vita?)
Yering/Yarra Valley (1 night) - staying in modern cottage in a natural setting. Yarra seems to be a foodie place if your food had a mother so thinking we should plan on picking up food on the drive out of Melbourne?
Melbourne (3 nights) - staying right in city on Collins st - one day we are driving out the Great Ocean Rd so lunch spot along that way would be good (or tell us to bring lunch from Mel)
Sydney/Bondi Beach (2 nights) - staying close to the beach, funky pies is on must do, other then that beach it if the weather is nice.
My main concern is having good meals in Yering and Blackheath. I see Go Vita everywhere, is this a good (the best?) option to pick up some to make a dinner or meal?
We are doing some scenic drives, visiting a sanctuary and just trying to see what nature we can and wildlife. In the cities we like to WALK. We walk lots when we travel, we aren't big museum peopel but we like to walk in cool neighborhoods where people live, see architecture and visit anyplace a vegan would be interested in (shops, animal sanctuaries, etc).
We got lucky and the first annual Sydney Vegan Festival is happening while we are in Sydney so we bought tickets to that and will be attending. Any locals or people that have recently visited either SYD or MEL feel free to chime in or PM me. Thanks!
