	Culture of Australia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The early Indigenous Australian culture before European settlement of Australia, is evidenced in the oral traditions and lore of their descendents and the range of material artefacts, however precise detail in the western academic sense is not accessible.
		Traditionally, Australians have viewed themselves as an egalitarian society, with a distrust of the rich and powerful; this is reflected by the status of the Eureka Stockade and the bushrangers within the Australian psyche.
		Australians, according to myths, are relaxed, tolerant and easy-going and yet cling dearly to the fundamental importance of common-sense justice, or, to use the classic expression, a "fair go".

		Adaptable and creative, with simple but highly efficient technology, Indigenous Australians had complex social systems and highly developed traditions reflecting their deep connection with the land and environment.

		These examples of Australian expression have one common theme, they are all stories of hardships, of ordinary poor people searching for something more from life.

	A robust Australian culture has nothing to fear from America - On Line Opinion - 3/7/2003
		This claim of "cultural genocide" and the fear of a one-way flow of culture, reveals something of the adolescent in Australia's cultural life.
		It is little wonder that such people fear American culture; like a junta of reactionaries they fear outside influence and a dilution of their status.
		To "save" Australian culture some writers need only write a critique of republicanism, or a defence of Windschuttle, or perhaps an ode to George Bush; this will show we are both grown up and sure of who we are.

	ausculture: In search of Australian snow culture
		Amongst my childhood memories of 1989 there are some songs I can't stand (Collette "Ring my Bell" and anything by the Proclaimers comes to mind), some rather good trashy music by Transvision Vamp, a horribly bad duet by Kylie Minogue and Jason Donovan and a first encounter with the Snowy Mountains of Australia.
		That Pat Rafter be voted Australian of the year in 2002 and seems to be well-recognised and well-liked well after his retirement as a tennis player should give some weight to such an argument.
		That this is the essence of the Australian snow experience is an alluring prospect.

	Didgeridoos — Didjeridus - Didjerdoos
		We have been serious supporters of Aboriginal culture since beginning to play didgeridoo in 1986 and supporters of Aboriginal communities, individuals and touring artists and performers since we started importing didgeridoos and other aboriginal products to the US in 1989.
		As an integral part of Australian Aboriginal cultures, didgeridoos (didjeridu, didjeridoo, yidaki, or didge, depending on your vernacular) are remarkable aboriginal instruments, at once mysterious, uplifting, calming and haunting.
		If you have an Australian music and culture buff in your life (or are one yourself) the aboriginal didgeridoo makes a creative and meaningful gift that will bring sound and spirit to both player and listener for years to come.
