Australia's culture

Australia's biggest influence is the English speaking western world and it's indigenous people, as well as neighboring Asian culture. Australia hosted the summer Olympic games in the years 1956 and 2000. Some of the sports that are poplar in Australia are cricket, field hockey, netball, rugby, rowing, swimming and surfing.

Australian art focuses on the natural landscapes of Australia. The first art was cave and bark paintings by the Indigenous people. The traditions of the Indigenous people are passed on orally by ceremony and by telling Dreamtime stories.
