Where To Find The Best Lamingtons In Australia

Australians have many hidden talents, especially when it comes to the iconic dessert offerings in Oz. Although Pavlova and Tim Tams are very much a part of the nation’s heritage, lamingtons hold a special place in the heart of every Aussie. We’ve travelled the country to find the best lamingtons and we recommend you indulge in one immediately.
