Advice and Information for the World Traveller on Many Destinations

Australian culture is essentially the unification of various cultures. It is a country where multiple cultures can be found, forming a comprehensive and liberal society. Australians are mostly of European stock, with a sizeable aboriginal population having its own culture, which includes food, celebrations and customs.

Before Captain James Cook discovered Australia, the Aborigines, or indigenous people of Australia, already inhabited the region. Australian culture commenced with these Aborigines as well as the subsequent incursions of other immigrants from all over the world. Since then, the culture has expanded and become one of the world’s most diverse cultures. The arrival of the English, who claimed Australia for the British Empire, produced Australia’s dominant culture, known as Anglo-Celtic. However, the culture of Australia keeps pace with time and technological advances.

Due to a culture of tolerance and their embracing of variety, Australia has been able to produce an enviable, worldwide prominence. Today, the country is the dwelling place of people who have come from about 200 assorted nations of the world. By promoting the different cultures, contemporary Australian society has emerged. Australia’s culture and society offer all citizens the freedom to express their preferred religion and culture, in keeping with democratic principles. And for the convenience of all of its citizens, Australia adopted English as its official language.

Though the Australian culture began from a rather complex base, the country is presently known to be among the world’s most bountiful nations and it provides an eminently satisfying quality of living.
