Most Australians eat a lot of beef and chicken. Large parts of Australia are dedicated to grazing cattle and grass fed beef is cheap and available. Most of Australia's sheep are for wool production but lamb is also readily available; mutton is not but it is sometimes sold as lamb. Turkey is more expensive, but if you can afford it it is widely available. Pork is mostly more expensive than beef, but we eat that too. Kangaroo meat is very cheap and available. Kangaroos are considered pests in some areas. Because we irrigate areas that were never able to support large grazing animals before white settlement, kangaroo populations have exploded. The roos now eat everything and sometimes breed and eat until they are all in danger of starving. Large culls are required to keep them from a horrible death but the bodies are not left to rot - they are used for pet food, human consumption and leather. Kangaroo meat is very tender, low in fat and it tastes good too, but some Australians don't like to eat it because they like kangaroos too much.

Fish is also eaten, mainly Saltwater Fish but some freshwater fish as well. Barramundi is a favourite angling fish and tastes very good. Mackeral, bream and red emperor are other popular eating fish.

Specialty meats such as venison (deer) and game birds are available but you can't just buy them in the average supermarket. They are usually hard to find and very expensive. Hunting is permitted in some parts of Australia, but a lot of the wildlife is protected and the gun laws are very strict. You are mostly allowed to catch and eat your own fish, but limits apply to prevent overfishing.
