The Culture
Australia’s culture is a vibrant mosaic, reflecting a rich blend of Indigenous heritage, European influence, and diverse immigrant communities. The Indigenous peoples, with a history dating back over 65,000 years, contribute Dreamtime stories, art, and spirituality.

Today, Australia stands as a progressive nation, built on a complex history, with Indigenous heritage, immigration, and a resilient spirit shaping its identity.
