(Outside Reading #8) Australian Culture

I thought it would be interesting to learn about Australia and some of it's culture. Australia culture is a blend between many different cultures with a broadminded liberal and comprehensive society. Most people in Australia are in fact Europeans which I thought was really interesting. Australian culture has become one of the most diverse cultures in the world. Australia came to be inhabited by the English people soon after England claimed it their land. After, the country's culture became "anglo Celtic". With each passing year the country grew more americanized and still does today. I was very surprised when I read this article because I never knew that Australia was a country filled with people from over 200 different cultures. That's amazing! I think Australia seems very interesting and always has for me. I think I would really enjoy visiting Australia one day and seeing all of the different cultures that make it what it is.
