Roasters inside a two kilometre circle around Brunswick, where Melbourne's coffee trade settled once Fitzroy rents rose. The boundary is the circle rather than the suburb line, so Brunswick East counts and Carlton does not. Cafes pouring beans roasted somewhere else were left out, however good the cup.

From the laneways of Surry Hills to the waterfront of Manly, Sydney's specialty coffee scene runs deep. The roasters and cafes that locals rely on, not the ones tourists stumble into.

Shiraz country forty minutes from Adelaide, but also home to Grenache revivalists, natural winemakers, and a farm-gate food trail that runs from the vineyards to the coast.

One of the world's great coastal drives is also one of its best independent-venue corridors. Breweries in former surf clubs, cafes in converted dairies, and stays with views that earn the premium.

Cool-climate wine country in the Mt Lofty Ranges, but also cideries, craft breweries, cheese dairies, and the kind of independent shops that only survive where locals are fierce about quality.
