Lying southeast of Asia, between the Pacific and Indian oceans, Australia, the world's smallest continent, is almost completely surrounded by ocean expanses.

Australia is diverse

Australia doesn’t have one uniform national culture because the country is made up of so many different cultures thanks to waves of migration following European colonisation in the late 18th century.

Australia’s society reflects its British penal history as well as the subsequent waves of migration from elsewhere in Europe and almost every other continent.

Characterstics

Australians love a drink

On the World Health Organisation’s table of the thirstiest nations on earth, Australia is the third booziest country outside Europe (and 19th overall).

Australians are obsessed with sport

Aussies might not take themselves too seriously, but the same can’t be said when it comes to sport.

Most popular leisure activities

• Keep a measure on how much you criticize them directly
• Drink with them (if you can), relax and enjoy yourself in casual settings. Australians tend to bond quickly with people they ‘click’ within informal social situations
• In any situation that allows for it, pitch in and contribute to the shared expense or task however possible.
• Try to be yourself. Australians warm most to those who seem genuine and comfortable with themselves

• Respect the natural environment, wildlife, and land of Australia. Protection of the country’s ecology is very important to many Australians.

Lorem ipsum dolor sit

do's list in the australian culture

• Avoid asking people to do tasks that you are clearly capable of doing.
• Avoid seeming too conscious or constrained by rules as this could potentially make you seem untrustworthy or likely to ‘dob’ on them.
• Avoid mentioning the divisive topics of Australian society (e.g. refugees, Indigenous affairs) unless you are approaching it with sensitivity and are prepared to hear adverse opinions.
• Avoid being overly combative or argumentative. Australians tend to avoid the company of people who are too opinionated and may consider them a controversial character and be less enticed to keep your company.
• Do not boast or make ostentatious comments that give the impression that you see yourself as superior to others. Australians will find this contrived and obnoxious.
