The best summer travel plans involve relaxation, inspiration and (of course) great food.  Here's our round up of vegan friendly places to eat, stay + play all around Australia these holidays - plus, the perfect travel bags to match your destination.

New South Wales

Stay at the Ovolo at Woolloomooloo Bay, where you can dine at Alibi Bar + Kitchen for plant based cuisine + quirky, bold cocktails. Go for mid week drinks + vegan tacos, or opt for the super elegant vegan high tea on weekends.

Pack your bags: Meet the architectural mood of Alibi Bar with a statement bag that's equally bold + distinctive. The Dumpling has a modern silhouette + dramatic drawcord that opens to reveal a surprisingly roomy + practical interior, plus its as picture worthy as those luscious interiors.

Victoria

Renowned artist Rone offers up a new art experience this summer, with ‘Time’ installed in the third floor wing of quintessential Melbourne location, Flinders Street Station. Time is described as a ‘nostalgic love letter to mid century Melbourne' and runs until April 2023.

Stay with the theme of Melbourne icons by heading to old favourite Transformer in Fitzroy for their plant focused small plates, then leave room for dessert at Girls + Boys

Pack your bags: Keep the nostalgic feel going with the Reader Satchel. Its vintage luggage-inspired handle brings a distinctive look as well as versatile carry options.

Queensland

Immerse yourself in contemporary Australian art with the 'Courage + Beauty' exhibition at the Queensland Gallery of Modern Art, showcasing pieces including the magical 'The Bowl' by Jon Cattapan pictured here. 'Courage + Beauty' runs until June 2023.

Move from contemporary art to old school burgers + fries reinvented at GrassFed - an entirely plant based menu, grounded in a philosophy of 'only the best for the plate and the planet.' Yum. Finally, finish the day at The Inchcolm, a glamorous 1920s boutique beauty with Martini Hour held between 5.30-6.30 daily.

Pack your bags: Stay with the mood of contemporary art with the Long Lunch Mini Tote - the dramatic silhouette + sculpted handles make it a glamorous choice.

Western Australia

Head to WA's largest arts event to enjoy comedy, music + theatre with Fringe World Perth running through Jan- Feb 2023. Stick with the live music theme at Summersalt in Fremantle and try the Norfolk Hotel in Freo for a classic pub that has more than the run of the mill vegan + vegetarian options.

Pack your bags: keep yourself hands free, carefree + ready for dancing with the Bright Spark crossbody. It's our all time favourite bag for travel as it keeps your important items close + secure and still within easy reach, and it's perfect for a festival spirit.

South Australia

Explore the collection of South Australian producers + makers at Plant 4, a market and event space with a focus on sustainability that includes vegetarian + vegan eateries. Don't miss PingAn for 100% plant based Thai food, the first in SA.

Enjoy a thoroughly luxury getaway at the Ecopia Retreat on Kangaroo Island, set amongst 150 hectares of native wilderness. Or stay in the city + check out Staazi and Co, a mobile food truck + takeaway bringing their greek vegan project to the streets of Adelaide. 

 

Mona Foma TAS

Tasmania

Experience live theatre, music, art installations + more at Mona Foma in February 2023, with an extensive creative program of events to inspire + move you. Head to The Little Poet to enjoy french-styled vegan pastries and revel in their philosophy of 'animals are family + friends, not food.' Right on.

Pack your bags: Go for a lightweight crossbody bag like the Bandolier for carefree nights of dancing + theatre, and grab an Xtra Overflow Tote to stock up on those vegan pastries.

TRAVEL BAGS FOR ANYWHERE + EVERYWHERE

Wherever you spend your leisure days this summer, we have a few recommendations for travel bags that suit every destination.

The Daytripper Tote fits a change of clothes + extras for a weekend away, and is perfect as carry on bag for a longer trip. The Xtra Overflow Tote or Traveller Tote both roll up flat to fit easily in your suitcase, ready to grab for a day at the beach, at markets + more. And the Bright Spark is our go-to crossbody bag for travel, with space for passports, phone + essentials and versatile styling options for all your holiday events.

Here's to lazy days, inspiring getaways + cruelty free travelling.

Bon voyage x
