When it comes to the classic Australian road trip, there are a few constants: scorching hot dashboards, one person who wants to listen to the cricket versus one person who has curated a playlist specifically timed to the drive, dusty wheels, and questionable roadside coffees.

You may not be able to control whether the air con holds out or not, but you can control the quality of your snacks. A trip can be borderline unbearable without a good feed, especially when you’re ages away from the next pit stop. But you don’t have to rely on packets of sickly sweet snakes or sleeves of dry crackers – think bigger.

Impress your friends and loved ones, particularly in a time when road trips are the best chance of a holiday we’ve got. Broadsheet has put together this handy list of semi-fancy snacks that are easy to pack for your next long drive – some are sweet, others salty, but all are delicious!

And what snack list would be complete without a First Press Iced coffee?
