STYLE

Known for its big wines and even larger landscapes, Australia has a lot more to offer curious epicureans than shrimp on the barbie. The theme of this year's Tasting Australia festival is people, and it promises to celebrate the tastemakers behind the country's food and drink scene. Here's what to pack for a week of down-under culinary delights
