The ten snacks Australians miss the most once they leave the country
We're sure this top ten ranking will spark some serious snack debates (and make your tummy rumble), but here's how it was compiled. Researchers from international delivery company Send My Bag surveyed almost 500 Australians living across Europe and the USA to find out which beloved snacks expats are craving the most.
You can take the Aussie out of Australia – but not without a jar of Vegemite! Yep, this thick black spread tops the list as Australia's most-missed snack, making its way into 25 per cent of care packages sent from home.
Next up was Tim Tams, slam dunking into 22 per cent of snack packs shipped abroad from Australia. These choccie bikkies are downright delicious, and one packet is never enough – so we recommend asking for at least one each of Original, Double Coat, and maybe even Strawberry and Cream.
Randomly, chicken salt is the third most-missed 'snack' – something I didn't realise was unique to Australia. Who says we don't have culture? The remainder of the top ten features classic Aussie snacks, including Shapes, Milo, Twisties, Arnott's biscuits, Allen's lollies, Cherry Ripes and lamingtons. I guess you can't exactly mail a meat pie, otherwise that surely would've earned a spot on the list.
The top 10 most-missed Australian snacks
Vegemite – 25 per cent
Tim Tams – 22 per cent
Chicken Salt – 13 per cent
Shapes – 10 per cent
Milo – 9 per cent
Twisties – 7 per cent
Arnott's biscuits – 5 per cent

Shoppers race to buy 'magic' item with 8,000 strong waitlist: 'It's giving five-star hotel vibes'
Daily Mail journalists select and curate the products that feature on our site. If you make a purchase via links on this page we will earn commission - learn more A 'sultry and provocative' new fragrance - so hotly anticipated it amassed a waitlist of 8,000 shoppers before its release - has just launched, to the delight of its eager fans. Aussie brand Recreation Beauty has taken the fragrance world by storm with the release of its sought-after new perfume, aptly named L'HÔTEL. The clean fragrance wasn't even on shelves yet when customers began pleading with the brand to find out when it would be available to buy. During its recent EOFY sale, Recreation Beauty teased fans with its new 'magic' scent by including samples of L'HÔTEL as a gift with purchase - a genius marketing move that sparked overwhelming demand. 'The best perfume scent I've ever smelled,' one shopper who received an early sample enthused - adding that they were 'setting an alarm to buy it.' Another fan compared the new fragrance to a high-end brand priced at $350, saying: 'I'm very picky but the L'HÔTEL is one of the best vanilla scents I've smelled, definitely the best 'clean beauty' vanilla. Hands down my favourite.' The day has finally arrived, and the new release - described as a modern floral vanilla fragrance, that is 'equal parts sophisticated and sweet' - is already selling fast. Priced at $124 for a 50mL bottle or $49 for a 12mL travel size, L'HÔTEL features top notes of whipped bergamot and velvety peony, layered with warm Tahitian vanilla, sun-drenched woods and a soft musky rose that lingers from day into night. L'HÔTEL 50mL by Recreation Inspired by the sensuality of a luxury hotel, this floral vanilla fragrance features top notes of whipped bergamot, musky rose and velvety peony. Heart notes of creamy Tahitian vanilla with sandalwood and cedarwood meet a seductive base of musk and amber. $124 'I wanted to create a luxury scent that feels like being wrapped in a cloud of pure, gorgeous indulgence. If L'HÔTEL was a celebrity, she would be Sabrina Carpenter - all sexy and soft, super glam and so luxe,' Recreation Beauty founder Nedahl Stelio told Daily Mail Australia. 'It's the kind of scent you want to wear in a hotel with fluffy slippers while drinking champagne, it's so delicious. L'HÔTEL was born from the idea that a scent can transport you - just like an incredible hotel. 'I wanted to capture that feeling of stepping into a beautiful space that's chic, luxe and a little bit mysterious. It's inspired by that luxurious feeling you can only get from a five-star hotel - that undone glamour you find in the world's most divine places. 'It's not just a perfume: it's a mood, a memory, a moment you want to stay in forever.' Not only does L'HÔTEL smell 'divine' but Nedahl also said the price point makes it affordable compared to designer brands on the market. 'We create our perfumes with world renowned perfumers so they are incredibly premium. You're getting a designer quality fragrance that is also clean,' she said. 'There are no nasties in our perfumes which means you can spray all over and feel good about wearing fragrance. And it's a gorgeous pinky purple colour, we wanted to recreate that luxury hotel room feeling in a bottle - and it really does that.' The former magazine editor said she couldn't believe the waitlist the perfume attracted in the weeks leading up to its launch. 'We're an Australian brand battling it out in a sea of giant designer brands, it's surreal to be able to say we have so many people around the world who are loving our scents,' Nedahl said. Shoppers who have already bought L'HÔTEL have given it a glowing five-star rating. ' L'HÔTEL is my new favourite. Delicious, fresh, feminine and young, but with a hint of mysterious complexity. I love that I can wear the perfume any time without worrying about the artificial fragrances or (harsh) chemicals, often found in luxury perfumes,' one customer raved. 'This fragrance feels like strolling through a hidden rose garden at Versailles. Smooth sweet vanilla and enchanting pink flowers. Heavenly,' another shared. Social media feedback has been overwhelmingly positive in the weeks leading up to the launch, with one fan raving: 'Such a beautiful scent. Smells so expensive… nailed this one.' L'HÔTEL 12mL Travel Size Take L'HÔTEL on the road with you with the compact 12mL travel size. Sultry, provocative and powerfully mysterious, L'HÔTEL is not just a fragrance…it's a mood. A presence. A little danger wrapped in silk… the quiet confidence of knowing you smell amazing. $49 Shop The award-winning clean fragrance house was inspired by the sensuality of a luxury hotel for their latest launch. 'This is the scent of late checkouts and whispered secrets. Feminine, refined, and effortlessly sensual - L'HÔTEL turns every moment into a five-star experience,' the brand said. 'Sultry, provocative and powerfully mysterious, L'HÔTEL is not just a fragrance… it's a mood. A presence. A little danger wrapped in silk… the quiet confidence of knowing you smell amazing.' The scent features top notes of bergamot, musky rose and peony, heart notes of creamy Tahitian vanilla with sandalwood and cedarwood, and a seductive base of musk and amber Recreation Beauty was launched in 2019 after Nedahl saw a gap in the market for clean, non-toxic luxury fragrance. 'Perfume is one of the worst offenders but there was no clean, luxury perfume on offer. That's when I knew I had to create something that was as safe as it was beautiful and luxurious,' she said. The award-winning fragrance house based in Bondi Beach, Sydney has grown rapidly over the years - with celebrities and Influencers amongst its fans. 'Our fragrances take more than two years to design because we spend a lot of time working with our perfumers and creating designer quality scents without the toxic chemicals,' she said. 'Everything is created with international perfumers and then we make the perfume here in Australia, manufacturing everything in our Sydney HQ.' The Aussie-born brand has become so popular that a UK warehouse was recently opened to meet growing global demand. 'We've just launched in the US and the UK and have had incredible reception so it's really just the beginning for us,' she said. Recreation Beauty is the brainchild of former magazine editor Nedahl Stelio, who launched the brand in 2019 to fill a gap in the market for clean, non-toxic luxury fragrance All of award-winning clean fragrance house Recreation's ingredients are ethically-sourced, vegan, and cruelty-free with no animal products used All of Recreation Beauty 's ingredients are ethically-sourced, vegan, and cruelty-free with no animal products used. 'If you've never tried Recreation Beauty, think of it as your invitation to experience fragrance differently,' Nedahl said. 'We're a clean fragrance house from Bondi Beach, creating perfumes that smell incredible - luxurious, addictive, unforgettable - without the toxins. Our scents are designed to make you feel amazing in your skin, and they last. 'It's for people who care about what goes on their body but refuse to compromise on smelling extraordinary.' One of their fragrances, At Night We Dance, a spicy musk with notes of orange, magnolia and vetiver, won Best Perfume at The Green Edit awards in 2022. Another standout, This Love of Mine, a summery white floral blend of jasmine, gardenia, sandalwood and vanilla, has earned nearly 400 five-star reviews and remains one of the brand's consistent bestsellers. Fans of the brand also love the discovery sets, where they can trial eight scents in 2.5ml sample sizes for $50, and receive a $20 credit to put towards their favourite when they're ready to purchase a full size bottle.

Australia's most pet-packed suburbs have just been revealed
No, you're not dreaming; your suburb really is being taken over by cavoodles, collies, cats and even cockatiels. If you live anywhere near a major city in Australia, chances are you, your neighbour or your barista has a furry (or feathered) friend. In fact, new research shows more than two-thirds (69 per cent) of Aussie households have one or more pets – putting Australia among the top pet-loving nations worldwide. Curious which Aussie suburbs are seriously pet-obsessed? Pet insurance provider Petsy has done the digging — read on to find out if your neighbourhood made the list! While Sydney might be known for its matchbox-sized apartments, it hasn't deterred city dwellers from getting a pet. The inner-city suburb of Rosebery tied with beachy Maroubra for first place, while the bustling 'burbs of Alexandria (second), North Sydney (fourth), and Marrickville (fifth) rounded out NSW's top five. Looks like high-rise apartment living hasn't put a 'paws' on pet ownership. In Victoria, it's a similar story, with Melbourne City and Berwick (just outside the CBD) tied for first with the highest dog and cat populations. Other trendy spots like Preston, St Kilda and South Yarra also cracked the list. Meanwhile, over in Queensland, the Goldy is where pets reign supreme – Pimpama, Southport and Coomera have claimed their spots on the pet ownership leaderboard. In South Australia and Western Australia, where space isn't tight, the trend flips – it's all about suburbs with big backyards and beach access when it comes to having doggies and moggies. You can check out the top five for each state below. The Australian suburbs with the biggest pet populations NSW Rosebery and Maroubra Alexandria Macquarie Park North Sydney Marrickville Victoria Melbourne and Berwick Point Cook Preston St Kilda and Pakenham South Yarra and Glen Iris Queensland Pimpama Southport and Coomera Upper Coomera and Cleveland Varsity Lakes, Nerang, Morningside, Moorooka, Riverview, Greenbank and Maudsland Buderim, Redbank Plains, Palm Beach and Nundah South Australia Woodcroft Mount Barker Prospect Aberfoyle Park Henley Beach Western Australia Scarborough Baldivis Waikiki and Port Kennedy Mount Lawley and Fremantle Rivervale Stay in the loop: sign up for our free Time Out Australia newsletter for more news, travel inspo and activity ideas, straight to your inbox. 🐕 ⭐️ The best pet-friendly hotels in Australia

Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) TV hosts Gethin Jones and Helen Skelton have cooled off their budding romance as he joins A-list dating app to meet new women. It was revealed earlier this year that the Morning Live pair had been growing extremely close away from screens and were in the throes of a brand new romance. Sign up for the Entertainment newsletter Sign up 5 Gethin Jones and Helen Skelton have reportedly cooled their romance Credit: BBC 5 He has been spotted aiming to find new women on celebrity dating app Raya Credit: Getty 5 He is currently enjoying a lads holiday in Australia Credit: Instagram But now, according to the Mail Online, the couple have cooled things off with Gethin joining celebrity dating app Raya during his current trip Down Under in a bid to meet Aussie women. It was first reported by the same publication in May how the pair were enjoying a flirty and tactile relationship with each other and had even spent time on a spa retreat and were acting "like a couple" after chemistry "blossomed". But now it appears that Gethin's focus is elsewhere after updating his Raya profile to show he is in Australia where the 47-year-old has been enjoying a boys trip. Insiders added to the Mail that Gethin is on the prowl in hopes of finding a new connection. A source said: "Gethin is on the prowl Down Under which puts the nail in the coffin for his romance with Helen. "He's there with pals but keen to meet other women. "There is no way Helen would stand for that if they were together and he has far too much respect for her to even go behind her back. "Despite having an increasingly close connection it's cooled down significantly which is gutting for fans who really wanted them to be together." The Sun has reached out to representatives for Gethin and Helen for comment. Helen is understood to have been single following the high-profile collapse of her marriage to Leeds Rhinos star Richie Myler. Gethin Jones and Helen Skelton's romance heats up as they're seen at spa He chose to leave Helen and their three children to marry Stephanie Thirkill, the daughter of Leeds Rhinos president Andrew, with whom he went on to have two children. Gethin meanwhile last romanced First Dates star CiCi Coleman in 2023. He has also enjoyed brief dalliances with a bevy of celebrity beauties including TOWIE's Lucy Mecklenburgh and German lingerie model, Katja Zwara. Gethin famously dated Welsh singer Katherine Jenkins for four years from 2007 and even became engaged in February 2011 before they split ten months later. Helen and Gethin grew close after he became a shoulder to cry on for the star as she continued to struggle with the loss of her marriage. 5 The pair grew close as hosts on the BBC show Morning Live Credit: Getty
