We’re not here to “celebrate Australia.” We’re here to tell it like it is—loud, local, and occasionally offensive to gentrified brunch menus.

OZ Times is your semi-reliable guide to Aussie culture, food, travel, art, and whatever else makes us question our life choices on a Tuesday.

We’re not backed by some multinational media conglomerate. We don’t do clickbait (unless it’s ironically). What we do have is sharp writing, painfully honest takes, and a soft spot for dusty towns and overpriced soy lattes.

If you’re looking for a lifestyle blog that tells you “10 Ways to Manifest Your Dream Kombucha Brand,” please see yourself out.

Our Content – The Bits That Matter

TRAVEL & PLACE
Forget the brochures. We’ll tell you which towns are worth the petrol, and which ones peaked during the gold rush.

FOOD & DRINK
From dive bars to bougie bakeries, we critique Australia’s obsession with fermented things, overpriced toast, and whatever that aioli was.

ARTS & CULTURE
We talk to creatives, drag queens, indie filmmakers, and that guy who turned his Kombi into a gallery. No NFT bros allowed.

PEOPLE & PERSPECTIVES
Real stories from real Australians. No filters. Unless it’s sunscreen.

WHAT’S ON
We find things to do so you don’t have to scroll through 93 irrelevant Facebook events from 2014.
