Things You Should Know About Australian Culture

Catch a glimpse of the real Australia by checking out these cultural qualities

Australians are egalitarian

One concept Australians do hold in high regard is the idea of the ‘fair go’ — the belief that everyone should be given an equal opportunity — which manifests itself in universal support for publicly funded education and healthcare systems..

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 colonization in the late 18th century.

Australia is home to the oldest surviving civilization on Earth

One of the most significant components of this multicultural milieu is Australia’s First Peoples, who represent the oldest continuously existing culture anywhere in the world.

Australians eat their national symbol

There is one quirky feature of Australian food: kangaroo regularly finds its way onto the menu. With 50 million roos hopping around the country — twice the population of humans — Australia’s national icon is a common meal, in the form of steak or sausages (known as ‘kanga bangers’).

Australians love a drink

On the World Health Organization’s table of the thirstiest nations on earth, Australia is the third booziest country outside Europe (and 19th overall), guzzling down 12.2L of alcohol per capita each year.
