Supermarkets like Coles all have a health food aisle like we do in the UK. Most eateries will have a vegetarian option but not all will be hot on gluten-free alternatives, for example. Best steer clear of American-style diner-pub type establishments. Saying that, you don’t even have to venture into city centres to find health food shops, cafes and juice bars.
There's a strong Asian presence in the country and these cuisines have plenty of nutrient-rich foods like steamed rice, pickles and seaweed. In such an exotic climate, there's an abundance of fruit, vegetables and flavoursome seafood. Kangaroo's supposed to be better for you too - like beef but a lot more tender.
