match-box toys and ceramic dolls.
Someone in Australia will have a collection, but it does not stop there. Australians love to gamble and will bet
on just about anything. In fact horse racing in this country has a great following. Many people have shares in race-horse syndicates.

bingo and poker nights, gambling machines as well as entertainment for the children and many outside activities as well.

supporting the local charities like the disabled and sporting associations.

Australians also like to help their fellow Aussies!
In time of catastrophe WE ARE All THERE TO HELP. Aussies are not shy and we will dip into our pockets no matter how broke we are to help our
fellow Australians when they are in trouble.
Volunteering is a way of life for many of us. We join the bush fire brigade, deliver meals on wheels, help
train a dog for the blind, visit a person in hospital, become a surf life saver or just knock on doors to collect money
for the red cross.

Australia is a large land and we have a small population, and our country is subject to the whole range of
natural disasters.
Aussies are fortunate that there are so many people willing to give up their time to help others.
