Mountain ranges run from north to south along the east coast, reaching their highest point in Mount Kosciusko (7,308 ft; 2,228 m). The western half of the continent is occupied by a desert plateau that rises into barren, rolling hills near the west coast. The Great Barrier Reef, extending about 1,245 mi (2,000 km), lies along the northeast coast. The island of Tasmania (26,178 sq mi; 67,800 sq km) is off the southeast coast.

Yet their colourful vocabulary, accent, phonetics system and slang ('Strine') can take a lot of getting used to. In 1788, there were about 250 separate Aboriginal languages spoken in Australia, plus dialects. Today, only two thirds of these languages survive and only 20 of them (eight per cent of the original 250) are still strong enough to have chance of surviving well into the next century. In addition to these there are also the languages of immigrants from Europe, the Middle East and Asia.

http://tysaustralia.com/australianculture.html

Extractions: Australians love prawns, an ideal seafood. What people in other countries call a shrimp is a prawn in sunny Australia. Another issue is a lobster. To Australians this delicacy is a crayfish. A young girl in Australia is called a "Sheila". But dancing with a young girl is not "Waltzing Matilda". During the Depression a "Swagman" would carry his belongings in a bag, called "Matilda", over his shoulder on a stick, as he made his way across the land seeking employment. This was called "Waltzing Matilda". This is the essence of Australian Culture. Though Australia is a Western country, things are different than in New York or London. Barbecues and going to the beach are important aspects of life. Australians pride themselves on having an equitable society, where everyone "gets a fair go". The majority of Australians live in cities along the coast, but cultural values originating in the outback are important to them. They look with affection to life as it was two hundred years ago when life was hard and a person's character was judged by his actions. Aboriginal culture is important to Australians. They have been on this continent for 50,000 years. Their "laid back" attitude to life has infused present day Australian culture. Possibly the "she'll be right mate" attitude of Australians came from them. SPORT Tysaustralia The Opera House is Sydney's most famous icon....

However, there are some values most Australians consider important: Australia strives to be a democratic society: the aim is that people will be treated the same. Young people in Australia do not necessarily show others more respect because they're older. Academic staff may ask you to address them by their first name.
