Some things just feel unmistakably Australian, whether that's a face mist infused with roses from the Adelaide Hills, chocolate-coated macadamias grown in Queensland, or a single malt whisky distilled right here in Melbourne. If you’ve been away or you’re visiting, there’s comfort in getting your hands on the brands you know and love. Or the ones you’ve been meaning to try.

That’s where Laneway comes in, Melbourne Airport’s duty free shopping platform made for international travellers. You can pre-order trusted Australian products online, then simply Click & Collect when you land. No rushing. No extra baggage. Just the good stuff, ready when you are.

Australian beauty products have a way of keeping things simple in the best way. Thoughtful formulas, ingredients that do what they say, and textures that just work even after a long flight. On Laneway, you’ll find a few of these homegrown names. All duty free, made for personal use or gifting, and easy to pick up.

• Aesop: Aesop’s face lotions, lip balms and cleansers are made with ingredients like parsley seed and mandarin rind—the kind of stuff that feels like a reset after travel. Minimalist on the outside, solid on the inside.
• Jurlique: Jurlique’s mists and moisturisers are made to soothe and hydrate, without overwhelming your skin. It’s gentle, botanical, and ideal if your face isn’t loving that recycled cabin air.
• Endota: Endota’s body creams and travel kits are packed with nourishing oils and calming scents. They’re the kind of skincare products you want on hand when your skin feels dry, tight or just generally tired.

All three brands sit among the best-sellers on Laneway’s beauty collection for a reason. They’re easy to use, easy to love, and made with the kind of care you’d expect from homegrown favourites.

Australian distilleries aren’t just making great spirits—they’re making names for themselves. From smooth, wine-cask-aged whisky to gins packed with native botanicals, these local labels bring something different to the table. If you’re thinking about what to pick up, this is where to start.

Australian Whisky

Australian whisky doesn’t try to copy anyone else, and that’s the point. It’s bold, considered, and often made in small batches that reflect exactly where they come from.

• Twenty Third Street: Laid-back and approachable, just like where it’s made. This South Australian distillery blends tradition with a modern feel, turning out whisky that’s smooth, balanced, and easy to enjoy.
• Starward: Very Melbourne, in the best way. Starward ages its whisky in red wine barrels from local vineyards, giving it a rich, fruit-forward flavour that’s bold but never overdone. If you like something with character (and a little edge), this is it.
• Gospel: Also born in Melbourne, Gospel sticks to rye—spicy, dry, and a little unconventional. It’s a bold style that feels right at home in a city that backs local, original ideas.
• Archie Rose: Based in Sydney and big on small-batch detail, Archie Rose is known for doing things carefully and creatively. Their whisky is layered, full of flavour, and a good match for anyone who appreciates a slower sip.

Australian Single Malt

There’s something grounded about Australian single malt whisky. It’s smoky when it needs to be, soft when it wants to be, and never trying too hard. Just good whisky, made the right way.

• Lark: Tasmanian through and through. Lark is known for its bold, smoky style and full-bodied finish—the kind of whisky that shows up with presence.
• Cape Byron: Made in Byron Bay with a relaxed, coastal approach. Cape Byron’s single malt is smooth, a little tropical, and easy to enjoy.
• Lawrenny: Also from Tasmania, Lawrenny takes its time. Expect a softer profile with layers that reveal themselves as you go. A solid choice if you like your whisky subtle but still interesting.
• Callington Mill: Crafted on a historic mill site in Tasmania, Callington Mill leans premium without the fuss. Think refined structure, layered flavour, and limited runs that feel a bit special without trying too hard.
• Morris Whisky: From Rutherglen in regional Victoria, Morris finishes its single malt in fortified wine barrels. The result? Something rounder, richer, and just sweet enough to keep things smooth.

Australian Gin

Australian gin isn’t just about juniper and citrus. It’s coastal, botanical, sometimes salty, and always thoughtful. Distilleries across the country use native ingredients to create something that actually tastes like where it’s made.

• Four Pillars: Possibly the most recognisable name on the list. Made in Victoria, Four Pillars is crisp, well-balanced and works with just about anything you mix it with.
• Apple Wood: Distilled in the Adelaide Hills with ingredients like desert lime and wattleseed, Apple Wood leans earthy and aromatic. Great if you’re after something a little different.
• Manly Spirits: This Sydney-based distillery brings in coastal flavours like sea lettuce and finger lime for a fresh, slightly briny twist on a classic dry gin.
• Naught: Small-batch and citrus-forward, Naught keeps things classic but never boring. Made in Eltham, Victoria, it’s a solid pick for gin drinkers who like balance without fuss.

Want something with hometown charm? The Melbourne Gin Company keeps things crisp and classic, with a distinctly local edge. Or try Forty Spotted for a softer, lighter style that plays well in just about any glass.

Australia’s wine regions are as varied as the bottles they produce. Each one brings its own flavour, literally. Whether you’re picking up a gift or just want something reliable to open when you get home, these names are a solid place to start.

• Penfolds: A mainstay for a reason, Penfolds covers everything from everyday reds to cellar-worthy classics. If you’re after a crowd-pleaser that still feels polished, this is it.
• Jacob’s Creek: Approachable, familiar, and easy to like, Jacob’s Creek wines are made for casual pours and pair well with just about anything—food or mood.
• De Bortoli Wines: Family-owned with a strong showing from the Yarra Valley. Their pinot noir and chardonnay are clean and classic, with a little cool-climate sharpness.
• Tahbilk: Known for doing things with patience, Tahbilk’s marsanne and shiraz are earthy, structured, and proudly low-intervention. A good one if you want something a little more grounded.
• Brokenwood: A Hunter Valley staple, Brokenwood’s semillon and shiraz are crisp, focused, and made for food. Great if you’re after something that feels refined without being too serious.
• Leeuwin Estate: From Margaret River, Leeuwin’s Art Series range is what gets all the attention, for good reason. Elegant, expressive, and worth the shelf space if you’re buying for someone else or just spoiling yourself.
• Hardy’s: Reliable and recognisable, Hardy’s has been around for generations, offering a wide range of reds and whites that are consistently easy to drink and easy to find.

These local names are just the beginning. Laneway’s wine and champagne collection also includes international favourites, so you can mix something familiar with something new.

Australian-made treats have a way of hitting the right note. Think macadamias grown up north, small-batch honey, and chocolates that actually taste like chocolate. These are the kind of things people ask you to bring back.

• Australian by Nature: Known for its range of manuka honey and health-based snacks, this is a solid pick if you’re after something natural but still gift-worthy.
• Koko Black: Premium chocolates made in Melbourne. Smooth, rich, and often boxed beautifully, these are ideal if you need a thoughtful gift that doesn’t look rushed.
• Banksia Red: Simple, sweet, and proudly local. You’ll find chocolate-coated macadamias and other native nuts that hit that crunchy-salty-sweet balance just right.
• Nutworks: Based in Queensland and all about the macadamia. Their coated and roasted varieties make for great travel snacks or something to pass around when you land.
• Koala Farm: Fun and nostalgic, Koala Farm makes classic Aussie chocolate treats with playful packaging. A good call if you’re travelling with kids or just want something easy to gift.
• JC Quality Food: For something lighter, JC’s has you covered with dried fruits, nuts, and snack mixes. All Australian, all travel-ready.
• Mariani Foods: Known for its dried mango, pineapple and other fruits. Nothing fancy, just naturally sweet snacks that are easy to pack and hard to stop eating.
• Organicer: Great for smaller, wholesome gifts. Their natural sweeteners, like bush honey and organic blends, feel thoughtful without taking up space.
• Ocean King: For something savoury, Ocean King offers seafood-based snacks with a distinctly local feel, ideal if you like your treats on the umami side.
