About Us

Who we are

Founded by Dave, an accountant who spent 20+ years in boardrooms before deciding life was too short for bland lunches and boring meetings.

Frustrated by how hard it was for visitors to experience authentic Australian food, he created something refreshingly different. Today, The Australian Food Guy offers unique tours, award-winning hampers and catering that celebrate bush tucker and the bold producers shaping Australia's food future.

Proudly partnered with ATEC and Destination NSW, we’re the only food experience in Sydney offering a turnkey, native-first approach. Made for discerning travellers and adventurous food lovers alike.
