Summer is here in Australia + our dream end-of-year getaways all include sunshine, nature, art and, of course, great vegan food. Read our round up of vegan friendly places to eat, stay + play around Australia this summer - plus our travel bag recommendations to make packing easier.

Starting in our home town of Melbourne we’ve compiled our list of our favourite vegan eats all around the country. Whether you’re in the mood for brunch, a sweet treat or even sushi (yes you heard us, vegan sushi) we have options sure to impress even your most carnivorous of friends.  Most we've tried ourselves, others we just know by reputation - we'd love to keep building this list (and satisfy our own hunger) so let us know who we're missing.
