Bacon and cheese pie from a bakery.

Who doesn’t love a pie? A good old fashioned Australian meat pie from a good old town bakery! And with the amount of bakeries in every Australian town, we are spoilt for choice with the pies on offer. From plain mince beef pie to creamy chicken pie and even vegetable pies, pies are made for many tastes.

What is a pie?

A pie is a baked dish consisting of a pastry-lined pan or dish filled with sweet or savoury ingredients, then topped with a pastry crust. And these are a quick meal, us Aussies love, particularly with a bit of tomato sauce on top!

Best Aussie Pie and Pastie Competition

Each year, the Australia’s Baking Association runs a competition to find Australia’s best pie. The 2026 Australia’s best pie and pastie competition has been run and won. Here is a list of some of the winners. If you live nearby I’m sure you may have already enjoyed from the bakery however, if you are travelling around Australia why not call in to one of these bakeries (and others) and enjoy a pie. And maybe a Nenish Tart and a coffee too!

I’m Sharyn, the creator of this blog and have been travelling all my life thanks to my dad who worked for an Australian airline. After many years living and working abroad, I like to stay on the ground and discover Australia now, one road trip, one city or town, one beach and one great Aussie meal at a time. Join me to discover Australia your way now.

 

My Essential Travel Resources that help me discover Australia now.

* For accommodation I choose to book a bed in a hostel or a hotel room via Booking.com. For free accommodation I house sit through Trusted Housesitters.
* I purchase camping & caravanning gear through Caravan RV Camping, Amazon, Anaconda and Outback Equipment. I power up with a Bluetti Solar Powerbank.
* For clothing and travel gear I like North Face  (particularly their jackets and their hybrid backpack/suitcase).
* For bags (I take my messenger bag everywhere) I like Bagsmart.
* If I need to rent a car I check out options at DiscoverCars. And I find my way with Hema Maps.
* When I need travel insurance I get a policy through World Nomads or SafetyWing. For car and van insurance I use the state auto clubs like RACV.
