Australian big brekkie

... all of it good stuff, and doesn't seem to really exist in the same shape & form in most other countries.

Is Australian big brekkie a specific type of meal or a dish?

I ask because my family likes hosting brunch, but my husband asks me to specify “American brunch” (i.e. casseroles, sausages, etc.) vs. “Jewish brunch” (bagels, smoked salmon, pastrami or corned beef, etc.).

He grew up with traditional American brunch, while my favorite big family event has always been brunch with more American Jewish fare…

I am curious what constitutes an Australian big brekkie.

They vary somewhat, but generally it's something like: 2 eggs your way, (sourdough) toast, bacon, mushrooms, hash browns, tomato, sausage(s) (or even a small steak), sometimes also: relish, chorizo, avocado, salsa...

This is was the "Fat Frog Brekkie" in Fat Frog Beach Cafe, Airlie Beach, in 2021 (since then, they've replaced the steak with sausages and raised the price from $26 to $34 AUD, apparently...)
