AUSTRALIANS

"Owyagoin Mate"

Australians are some of the friendliest people in the world

We are also one of the youngest island nations; our modern history only began 230 years ago. In that time we have grown and invited people from many countries around the world to come and join us, live in AUSTRALIA and become Aussies.

The fun part of being an Aussie is you can be yourself, live your life the way you want, retain your beliefs, wear what you wish and go where you like. As we have freedom of speech in Australia we can almost say anything we like. Our language is English with a touch of slang, well maybe a lot of slang because Aussies have a lot of fun with the words we use, our welcomes, for instance "Owyagoin" or "Gday mate", are known around the world.

While Australians are predominantly Christians we have, not just some religions, we have them all. Australians are a free people and we Aussies are proud to be able to live in harmony with others.
We will always remain a free people.

Aussies are renowned for our very friendly natures and famous for our generosity and our humour. I know it's hard to believe but we are the only people in the world that speak without an accent?

Aussies love SPORT of any kind; in fact for a country with a small population of just over 20 million people, Aussies are up there with the best. We are a people of high achievers as you name the sport and you will find that Australians are involved and have won most of its major events world wide.

Aussies are tough, resilient and vibrant and we love our land (We sound great don't we!) Well we are!! We are hard workers and high achievers and enjoy the company of our fellow man.
