Why Australian jerky is a cut above the rest

When it comes to jerky, not all snacks are created equal. Around the world, you’ll find everything from overly processed gas station stuff, to chewy backyard DIY experiments, but Australian jerky has carved out a reputation for quality, flavour, and sustainability. Here’s why.

Grass-fed, free-range goodness

Australia is known for its wide open spaces. The Aussie beef we use is grass-fed and free-range, which means our jerky tends to be leaner, higher in Omega-3s, and full of natural flavour.

Wild game with a wild side

Kangaroo, emu, and crocodile aren’t just symbols of Australia, they’re also delicious sources of lean protein. Our native meats are sustainably sourced and packed with nutrients, making them perfect for adventurous snackers.

Jerky, but make it natural

Unlike some mass-produced jerky, our Aussie jerky is made in small batches without artificial preservatives or weird additives. At Billabong Jerky, we use real ingredients you can pronounce, like lemon myrtle, ironbark honey, and snowgum smoke essence. The result? Jerky that’s full of flavour, not filler.

Built for the Aussie lifestyle

Whether you’re hiking in the bush, fishing on the coast, or just powering through the 3pm slump at your desk, jerky is the ultimate snack. High in protein, low in fuss, and no refrigeration needed, it’s the Aussie way.
