Conversation Australia 's multicultural society is made up of people of over 210 different nationalities, so it is difficult to define what is ‘typical' in Australian culture or social customs. There are however some values most Australians consider important: That people will be given a ‘fair go': that is, that you will be treated equitably. For example, La Trobe University has advocates, grievance procedures, Academic Progress Committees and an Ombudsman to give students an opportunity to explain their version of events, or their situation. Respect for the rights of the individual: in Australia there is an emphasis on individual achievement. Other students may not be greatly concerned about the opinions of friends and family, and may be more likely to make decisions based upon what they want. Australia strives to be an egalitarian society : the aim is that people will be treated the same regardless of what strata of society they come from.

Exchange programs Sport, Learning and Australian Culture at Sydney Uni (EDUF3000) An understanding of sport is central to an understanding of Australian culture and Australians' sense of who they are in the world. Australia's biggest cultural events are sporting events. Sport is part of day-to-day discourse and yet recieves comparatively little attention as an area of serious academic study. A criticial analysis of the practice and meaning of sport in Australian culture, however, provide a deep understanding of not only the unique nature of Australian sport but also of Australian culture and society. This unit of study provides students with a socially critical perspective from which to appreciate the meaning, practice and place of sport in Australian culture. Focused on the range of learning that takes place through children's and young people's engagement in sport, the course examines the practice of sport at levels ranging from elite international to grassroots, community based and school sport. Students will examine the processes of globalisation and commodification in sport and the implications this has for the social and cultural development of children and young people. In addition to lectures and tutorials, students will attend a number of field trips such as:

Alumni Australian culture and history There’s no better way to engage with Australian culture and society than through distinctly Australian courses. An understanding of Australia, past and present, makes your downunder experience more rewarding. Plus, distinctly Australian studies build on and complement your existing qualifications, allowing you to specialize your interests and career. Indigenous studies, Australian history and Australian studies are courses useful across a variety of fields, such as the arts, education, history, law, health and government administration. For example, Indigenous studies may supplement a career in community development or remote health; and Australian studies may be useful in the culture industries, such as working in a museum or in art education. Indigenous studies Indigenous Australians (Australian Aborigines) have the oldest continuous culture on earth, with a spirituality and art of international significance. Ancient enchantment and Australia’s hot, red outback usually spring to mind first when we think of Indigenous culture. But the life and history of the country’s first people are more rich and complex than most people imagine. Indigenous Australians live all over the country – from dry, remote places to lush, tropical areas, from bountiful coastal fringes to the Torres Straight Islands off Australia’s northern shores.

Send a Postcard Australian Culture The most famous part of the Australian culture is its aboriginal history. Aborigine artwork has been preserved for centuries, and even contemporary artists explore this past. Rock music has also played a large part in the culture, as many famous bands emerged out of the land down under, such as The Bee Gees, INXS, AC/DC, Midnight Oil, and the Little River Band. You will find live music throughout the country in the outdoor markets and local pubs. Opera is also popular music in Australian culture. Nellie Melba, a Melbourne native, was once the largest opera star in the world. Australians loved her so much they named Melba toast and Peach Melba after her. The people also embrace rugby and soccer as national pastimes.

Australian culture Australian Music and Australian Super models. Australian culture is certainly visible in its music. From Slim Dusty to Kylie Minogue, many Australian artists have been successful ambassadors of Australian music. There are many more Australian artists who, although they may not be well known, have build up a steady following overseas. These pages aim to give some more exposure to those Australian artists that do not yet have extensive fan pages on the Internet and give you a taste of how varied Australian music can be. Well, we had to start somewhere. So our first contributions are music pages about Johnny O'Keefe , the first star of Australian Rock and Roll, and the Skyhooks , a band that became an Australian icon since their success in the mid seventies. To learn more about Johnny O'Keefe or the Skyhooks, just click on their name in the menu at the left. Other Australian groups that have become more famous outside Australia are Savage Garden, the Bee Gees and Yothu Yindu We'll try to add some more artists soon and we plan to cover a wide range, from Australian folk music via country and western to rock and roll. If you would like to suggest an artist that urgently needs a fan page, let us know. Although maybe not so much a typical example of our culture, Australian Supermodels are still amongst the most beautiful and successful models in the world. From

Australian Culture Like the USA and Canada, Australia is a federation of states with power shared between state and federal governments. Australia is a predominantly English-speaking, developed country, and is a technologically-oriented one; Australia has one of the highest per-capita levels of VCRs, computers, mobile phones, and so on. Australians feel at home in America and in England, and vice-versa. Australians, like the majority of the world's population, drive on the left-hand side of the road; visitors could choose to drive on the right, but we recommend against it. Australia is very much a multi-cultural nation, having enjoyed waves of immigration starting with the Australian Aboriginals 40,000 years ago, followed by the English 200 years ago. Since the Second World War, Australia has received millions of migrants, with the population roughly tripling over a period of fifty years. However, although Australia is similar in size to the continental USA, its population is still only around 18 million and is heavily concentrated in the major coastal cities; central Australia is essentially a wildly beautiful but uninhabited desert. The bigger cities such as Melbourne and Sydney have large Italian and Greek populations (Melbourne has for many years been the world's second-largest Greek-speaking city, after Athens). Melbourne also has distinct Chinese, Vietnamese, Jewish, Muslim, Arabic, Croatian, Latvian, Serbian, Spanish, Portuguese, Indian, and African communities. The influence of each can be found in the Australian culture; one mark of this is the wide variety and high standard of restaurants of different cuisines to be enjoyed in Melbourne. This mix of cultures is why Australia has really good coffee.

There are often two conflicting points of view about Australian culture: one that such a young country can hardly be seen to have a national culture at all, and another more positive view that Australia's no longer a British outpost nor is it a branch office of the United States and it can build something new and different, 'Down Under'! JOHN RICKARD: "Richard White called it a national obsession in his book 'Inventing Australia', and particularly since the Second World War we seem to have been increasingly absorbed with identifying what it is that makes us a nation, even the question as to whether we are an independent nation given that we still have the monarchy. So it's been a continuing and absorbing kind of debate." DEB VERHOEVAN: "The film industry sets itself up very well for those sorts of questions and the Australian film industry is no exception, in fact I think it's probably one of the best industries at that kind of self-questioning - are we Australian, are we international, do we have a relationship to other successful cinemas like the American cinema? And even earlier in our history - how do we relate to the British cinema?"

Australian culture geographic A form of English, known as strine, or Aussie slang, has evolved over time and reflects the uniqueness of the Australian culture and language. Friendly lot the Aussies. They’ll invite you to a barbie in their backyard,toss a shrimp on it for you...greet you with a “g’day mate” and proceed to delight you with the colorful language that comes from emerging as a nation in complete geographical isolation from the rest of the world. Of course not everyone speaks “strine” (“Australian” pronounced the Australian way). The following guide will help you, though, to understand those down under at the average informal outback gathering. One trend you might notice, when listening to Australian speech, is the use (or perhaps over use)of the long “e“ sound, which is tacked on to the end of many a word. If you are offered a tinnie, for instance, -take it, as it is a can of beer. If a mate will be back in a minnie, you can safely expect him back in sixty seconds. If the postie has delivered a pressie- then you are in luck. You have been given a present and it has arrived courtesy of your mail man. Unless he has ‘chucked a sickie” of course. (Telephoned to say he will not be at work..perhaps for no reason other than he feels like a day off or at the beach.)
