AUSTRALIAN INGLES 2

TRADITIONS

1. Australia Day
One of the quintessential Australian traditions is Australia Day. Every January
26, Australia's cities are filled with flags and parties to commemorate the
arrival of the British in 1787. Throughout the day, barbecues are organized in
parks and beaches, and there are many fireworks.

2. The closeness and good treatment of newcomers

One of the Australian traditions is hospitality and good treatment with
newcomers from any country.

Having a smile on your face and saying g'day mate! please and thanks are not
Australian customs; despite this, everyone practices them. In addition, the
Aussies love to make friends, so from day 1 they will help you get to know
their country and their culture, and have fun.

3. The love of insects, one of the craziest traditions in Australia

We know that in India they worship cows and, believe it or not, in Australia
insects are honored. It is one of the most peculiar traditions, the Aussies
respect nature as much as their own mothers. There, by killing a spider or an
ant, you will be seen as a serial killer.

4. Sunrise marks the beginning of the day

The saying "God helps those who get up early" has always been heard.
Australians are no exception to this popular verse, as they are very used to
being up at 6 in the morning to start the day enjoying a beautiful sunrise on
the beach and, why not, exercising or surfing.
5. Surfing
Another of the traditions of this country is to surf at any time of the day, since
on the beaches of Australia (Bondi Beach, Manly Beach) the waves can be
very high, which is a great excuse to be under the king star

6. Barefoot or walking without shoes

Australians don't like shoes, it's just that being barefoot is another custom,
mainly in towns and coastal cities like Byron Bay and the Gold Coast.

7. Tea and coffee

Drinking black tea or coffee has become very common among Australians,
especially after lunch and among friends, in a way, many of their traditions
are British influenced. For this reason, experienced baristas are in high
demand to work in Australia.

8. Australian food
Typical Australian food is very exotic. For this reason, perhaps as a newcomer,
it sounds strange to you to hear or see eating crocodile or kangaroo meat
among their most common recipes.

9. Dinner
In case you don't believe it, the Aussies are good eaters at night. During the
day they usually eat light and easily digestible meals. Instead, when night
falls, they usually prepare recipes with abundant plates of food to explode
before going to sleep.

10. The chill and carefree lifestyle

Another of the customs of Australia is their quite carefree lifestyle, since they
have a high quality of life, which they do not have to worry about. In addition,
one of its premises is that they work to live and not live for work, giving a
balance between their personal and professional lives.
11. Change of address, the order of the day
Aussies, especially young people, tend to change addresses frequently. For
this reason, if you ask him how many places he has lived, it is likely that a
person will need more than 2 hands to count them. But they not only change
houses, but also cities or even opt for the countryside. In general, they tend
to always move. Unlike other countries, in Australia renting is the most
abundant and normal, since it facilitates mobility and allows them to change
cities to find better job offers.

TOURIST SITES

Many of us associate "Sydney in Australia" with the Opera House, that iconic
building designed by the Danish Jørn Utzon at Bennelong Point, next to the

hallmark is the huge white shells covered by 1.056 million glossy white and
cream tiles made in Sweden that form its roof.
