- Summary:
-
Like many writers, this author points out that Australia is a very young country with a very strong democratic spirit.After giving a brief history of Australia, she states that it is a very British nation. She finds that the people are very rustic (village-like), since animal husbandry and farming are important aspects of the Australian society. Australians love water sports, golfing, horse races and travel. When it comes to food, Australians are very casual (they have very few dishes), but alcohol is a must. She portrays Australians as very helpful and friendly, and open-minded towards newcomers. The respect of other's freedom is highly valued, and Australians expect others not to interfere in their affairs. The hierarchy in families is based on friendship. Social welfare is highly developed, with the state takes care of everything from birth until old age. This monograph is very perceptive and interesting and hence certainly deserves further study.
