An Indigenous Australian recipe like Bush tomato (akudjura) Scones might also be a nice idea. These scone makes for a perfect savoury afternoon snack. Bush tomato is a small native berry, when dried it has caramel-like flavour and slightly tangy acidity.

Anzac biscuits are typical Australian and nice to present too

Some nice ideas ! I would do either some kind of Australian food (like your suggestion of cheese and vegemite scrolls) or some kind of orange food (for example an all orange fruit platter)

rainbow cake

Australian food is definitely tricky! Its when we realise how culturally diverse our origins are! Cheese and vegemite scrolls are a great idea, MIni Pavlovas, meat pies & lamingtons too.

the scrolls sound really good!

Try the following, as you can vary the ingredients to suit the taste buds and preferences of both kiddies and adults …

SAVOURY BACON SLICES

1 loaf sliced bread
250 gm Cheese (grated)
375 gm Bacon Pieces
1 medium Onion
1 Egg
pinch Salt
pinch Black Pepper
pinch Cayenne Pepper
1 tablespoon Soy Sauce
1/2 cup Tomato Sauce
– Place bread slices on over trays. Mix all other ingredients together in a bowl, the spread on bread slices. Bake in a 180 degree Celsius oven until bread is brown on the bottom. Do not overcook, or slices will dry out When cooked, cut each slice into six pieces. Serve hot or cold.

Try this recipe that I put on this page. The pasties are delicious served hot or cold, you could make them in “mini” sizes, and they’re loved by children & adults alike.

Mini bolognaise sauce pies might be nice.

What about a traditional damper? SOOOOO easy to make!

Mini pavlovas? How about fruit skewers?

Thanks guys, I know it is a hard one! Thanks for all your tips though. I love the dips idea!

how about mars bar slice or tim tam cake/cheesecake, nutella swirls or anzac cookies with a dob of nutella and a chocolate freckle on top.

why not some a plate of dips using different aussie vegetables
eg beetroot , carrot spinach and cheese some thing like that would be fun
