Most people will jump on "The ANZAC spirit", but mainly what we had before globalism and China 2.0 sets in was a mixture of the natives and anglo culture in a harsh environment. Bush rangers, eureka stockade, explorers, gold rush, federation. Mind you we've only had about a hundred years free of influence and since the fifties we've been America's cultural bitch and subjugated economically for yonks.

I suppose if you wanted to craft the idea that we have this genuine survivalistic ingenuity you can look at some scientific achievements (http://www.abc.net.au/catalyst/stories/2342479.htm), the general approach aussie troops take to wartime (vietnam comes to mind), and some stuff done by the bush authors.

Skeleton culture but it has its charm

tbh if you think we didn't and/or don't, you should live'' overseas. or take any expat's word for it; Aus has boatloads of culture.

I don't mean that mockingly or whatever, if you get sick of aus, have a change of scenery.

If it works out well you're good, if you have a crap time, you'll certainly know and appreciate a lot about Australia that you didn't realise before. All about that fresh perspective

apologies to any NEETs offended by mention of overseas travel ;^)

Well we're in our culture so we'd be our culture judging itself, to get a more useful answer we might need a bong or a seppo that's been here because culture is mostly the little things.

First attempted political assassination here was against Prince Alfred. He recovered from his gunshot wound in a hospital in Sydney now known as Royal Prince Alfred Hospital.

We don't always go hard but when we do we shoot a prince.

That watercolor of the NSW Corps apprehending William Bligh was apparently shown at the first art exhibition in Australia and is also essentially the first known piece of political propaganda.

retards itt that don't understand what culture is


 No.36641

When people say "Australia has no culture" what they're really saying is that Australia has no distinct and unique culture that makes it truly different from elsewhere. There's obviously a huge North American influence here that makes it difficult to properly ascertain, although things are getting worse in that regard.

As a kid I thought Aussie culture was full of not giving a fuck.

Now all I see that represent it are tradies and bogans. That could just be where I live though.

i like to think you're not fake like americans, or pompous like the brits.

unfortunately i see both more than i want.

i think of culture as collective behaviour of a homogeneous population.

but when it's contaminated…space and resources are diverted, influences and identity becomes blurred
