Road Trip Around Australia

Internationally acclaimed food photographer David Griffen is embarking on a 12 month culinary tour of Australia – a family adventure celebrating the freedom of the road trip. David, his wife Maria and their two sons have mapped out a journey around the continent with the purpose of capturing something fresh, unique and engaging.

Over a period of twelve months, David will tour the country with his family in a caravan. Whilst exploring and capturing the vibrant Australian food scene, David will connect with both leading chefs and pioneering producers in some of the most stunning locations on the planet – producing an exciting new cook book and engaging digital content.

The foundations for this exciting adventure were laid in 2016. David made two trips to Australia to interview chefs, gain support for the project and shoot in some of Australia’s finest restaurants.
