Good Oz beef, contradiction in terms,

Or did you go to a tourist town where they cater .. badly, to tourists
with replicas of food that the tourist would eat at home?
Soggy fish and chips and pizza with 1" thick base?
It was a sailing holiday. We ate in small local restaurants
near the harbours.

Yep, there are quite a few, and usually very good.
The food in Turkey is a bit better, and has the advantage
that the people who work in restaurants know how to smile.

They smile at Australians :-)

Greeks do that when they are amused.
