home information search your say ... print version melbourne, victoria, australia melbourne our say expert advice Australian Culture We invited Alison Pooler, Founder of Fly the Flag to briefly discuss the Australian flag, the importance of buying Australian made and owned and Aussie slang in May 2003. Australian Culture 1. What is the history of the Australian Flag? The Australian Flag came into being after the federation of the Australian States into the Commonwealth of Australia on the 1st January 1901. It wasn't adopted as the definitive Australian flag until the Flags Act was passed in 1953 by the Commonwealth parliament. The Union Jack in the corner represents Australia's historical links with Great Britain. The Southern Cross consists of five stars. The Southern Cross is a significant navigational feature of the southern hemisphere, strongly placing Australia geographically and has been associated with the continent since its earliest days. The other star is the 'Commonwealth Star' or 'Star of Federation.' It has seven points to denote the six states and the combined territories of the Commonwealth, the seventh point was added in 1909. 2. Who is Australian?

How to tell if you're Australian by Chris O'Regan Here's the latest response to my E-Z home test for detecting Americans . Chris is a linguistics student at the University of Queensland, which is in Australia somewhere, and hails from Brisbane, which is in Australia somewhere. He says he enjoys ruminating on the Australian psyche and is interested in its speech characteristics. He was learning Verdurian for awhile, but otherwise seems sane. Mark If you're Australian... You know hardly anything about the Constitution and what it actually contains. Before the whole republic thing, you may not have even known it existed. You're familiar with Neighbours, Home and Away, Playschool, A Country Practice , Norman Gunston, Barry Humphries, Blue Heelers, Ray Martin, Bert Newton, Lisa McCune, Jon Burgess, Number 96, Molly Meldrum, Kerry O'Brien, and of course, Kerry Packer and Rupert Murdoch. You can't remember past the second line of your national anthem, let alone the second verse . . . Whether you're male or female, you watch a lot of sport. You watch the cricket, and support your footy team... which code is best is a matter of controversy and depends on your upbringing. You can be sure that the contest is between League, AFL, and maybe Union none of these fancy Northern Hemisphere games, like soccer or gridiron. If you're male, you can argue intricate points about their rules. You don't know so much about basketball, netball, hockey, baseball, etc. even if the national team are the world champions.

A (Sometimes) Brave New Australian Culture Index Source '(Sometimes) Brave New Australian Culture' Art Monthly December # 116 pp. 14-15 (1998) Australia on CD-ROM It is too soon to tell how effective it has been as a leg-up for budding media producers, but with seven of the ten now available, we can begin to assess their cultural significance. How should we judge them? As dwellings for culture, we might look for an alternative to the monumental displays provided by exhibitions, books or documentaries. Our path through conventional cultural architecture is inevitably structured, even if we resist it, by the necessary occupation of physical space (a path through a gallery, chapter order or visual sequence). While these familiar limits are no doubt productive, we can still look to a brave new virtual medium for a different negotiation with its content. As part of Australia on CD, 24,000 copies of each title are being pressed for the 9,668 schools and 1,224 libraries of the country. No doubt there are many teachers relieved finally to have something of local significance for students to fiddle with their mice. Stepping back, though, what does this series reveal of our emerging virtual culture? Naturally, there is a strong indigenous theme among the selection. The digitisation of Aboriginal culture has had a fraught history. Some of the most promising indigenous titles, Punu (Museum of South Australia), Patterns of Power (National Gallery of Australia) and Yothu Yindi are yet to come out, despite years of work. Current titles are mostly research tools, such as the Aboriginal Encyclopedia and the recent ATSIROM (extensive set of databases on Aboriginal issues published by RMIT). It is a great relief, therefore, to come across such as personable title as Moorditj.

51. Australian Culture australian culture. This mix of cultures is why Australia has reallygood coffee. The fine arts are wellrepresented in Australia. http://goanna.cs.rmit.edu.au/~jz/travel/aus/culture.html

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.

55. Australian Culture Lesson Culture of Australia. Author Marc Sheehan Grade Level FourthPurpose This lesson will introduce the students to Australia http://www.halcyon.com/marcs/culture.html

Lesson: Culture of Australia Author: Marc Sheehan Grade Level: Fourth Purpose: This lesson will introduce the students to Australia and investigate the culture of the nation, with a focus on the Aborigines. Goal: The students will name the group of people indigneous to Australia. The students will identify five plants used by Aborigines in the past and state how those plants were used. The students will develop two or three questions that will be sent to children in Australia. Lesson Design: This lesson will be done in two separate parts. In the first part, the whole class will be asked what they know about life in Australia and what they would like to know about life in that nation. All answers will be recorded on a sheet of butcher paper. The class will then develop two or three questions that will be e-mailed to a same-age class in Australia. The answers will be received at the end of the week. At the same time, the students will answer questions sent by their "electronic pen pals" from Australia. In the second part, the class will work in groups of three or four students. The groups will visit three Internet sites that deal with the Aboriginal culture. They will visit the Australian National Botanic Garden site (http://osprey.erin.gov.au/anbg/aboriginal-trail.html) to find out how the Aborigines used plants native to Australia. The students will also visit 2 other sites (http://www.ciolek.com/WWWVL-Aboriginal.html; http://mirrors.org.sg/victorian/australia/aboriginal.html) to find information on the culture of the Aborigines. Answers will be recorded onto worksheets and shared with the whole class.

Australia is a nation built by people from many different backgrounds. It is a tolerant and inclusive society, and cultural diversity has become a touchstone of its national identity. Australian culture therefore reflects the multicultural nature of Australia. The indigenous heritage, the history of British colonisation and the values of a democratic society that accepts immigrants from all over the world, combine with a continuing openness to international influences and a taste for competition and controversy in the arts. Australian music, dance, theatre, art, and literature have become internationally renown. Australian films, in particular, have made great strides internationally. Films like The Truman Show, Shine, Babe, Muriel's Wedding, My Best Friend's Wedding, Strictly Ballroom, Romeo and Juliet, and The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert to name a few, were all directed by Australian directors.
