More Fun Facts About The Sunshine Coast And Australia

Australia is commonly referred to as the land down under. Most people don't truly understand this reference as it has to do with the way that the continents drifted back at the beginning of time. Australia is an island, one that is a continent and also a country and is filled with many of the natural wonders of the world. It is amazing that despite the fact that this land is filled with natural habitats that it also considered to have one of the world's most urban populations as well.

Similar to the United States, there is a wide array of cultures in Australia. These disparate cultures and people come from those who journeyed here as settlers from around the world, along with the native cultures already established here. There are parts of Italian, Irish, Greek, English and Asian cultures here, creating a great blend in this great country.

These wonderful different cultures are evidenced throughout the continent with all the cultural architecture, foods and events. Australias primary language is English but of course these different cultures speak their native languages so you can hear many languages throughout the country. The blending of these languages with English is what helps to create the unique Outback dialects and accents.

The Australians do have an affinity for beer and wine, not denied by the natives, but they do have their own creation in the food product of vegemite. It's included in the regular Aussie diet as a spread that can be used on a lot of different foods like bread and crackers, it is truly a native food, not found anywhere else on the planet. It has a high nutritional value, and is eaten everywhere, but the rest of Aussie food is similar to European diets.
