Australia has many cultures. First there's the Aborigines who have over 200 language groups. Then there's the British who arrived and set up the colonies.

Various other European countries added their bits when they arrived. And in the last couple of generations, many migrants from the rest of the world arrived.

So in terms of culture, there's a lot of diversity, but the main things to note are the beach (nearly all of the population live within 50km of the coast) and sport (footy [Australian Rules and Rugby] and cricket are the main sports.

Some also follow the Bushmen legends. Similar to cowboys, tales of early colonial life and lore. Ned Kelly is a noted figure.
