When most people go to Australia or think about going there, they think of the endless golden sandy beaches and being there in the heat of summer. Of course, it’s a great place to explore out of the summer season but, if you want to experience the Australia you’ve always imagined, it’s best to pick at least a late spring or summer month to see the country in all its glory.

 

Having said that, the heat of Oz can be relentless, and that has definitely been the case this January, with a heatwave affecting different parts of the country. One great way to cool down is to escape the midday or afternoon sun and head to a café or bar to experience the amazing foods to eat in Australia, especially the sweet treats that the country has either invented or made its own.

The Freakshake

Freakshakes are a worldwide phenomenon now, but they were first dreamt up in Australia. If you’ve not encountered one before, imagine a milkshake that’s made with a few generous scoops of ice-cream and then bombarded with all kinds of toppings and side accompaniments.

 

These can include sprinkles, pretzels, doughnuts, slices of cake, lashings of Nutella and popcorn. There are basically no limits when it comes to a freakshake!  The first freakshake was concocted by a woman named Anna Petridis for her café in Canberra.
