Fruits abound in Australia, so vegans and vegetarians shouldn’t have too much difficulty keeping to their restrictions. Australia’s environmentally-conscious population also works to ensure that organic and vegan options are available. The travel section of The Vegetarian Resource Group’s website, at www.vrg.org/travel, has a comprehensive list of organizations and websites geared toward helping vegetarian and vegan travelers. They also provide an online restaurant guide. For more info, visit your local bookstore or health food store and consult The Vegetarian Traveler, by Jed and Susan Civic (Larson Publications; US$16). Vegetarians will also find numerous resources on the web; try www.vegdining.com, www.happycow.net, and www.vegetariansabroad.com, for starters.
Travelers who keep kosher should contact synagogues for information on kosher restaurants. Your own synagogue or college Hillel should have access to lists of foreign Jewish institutions. If you are strict in your observance, you may have to prepare your own food on the road. A good resource is the Jewish Travel Guide, edited by Michael Zaidner (Vallentine Mitchell; US$18). Travelers looking for halal restaurants may find www.zabihah.com a useful resource.
