Australian People and their lifestyle

On a surface of 7 692 024 square kilometres only  20,4 million  people live. The most people are white, but 400 000 are Aborigines.

Outback:

Australia is settled unevenly, because in the big cities you can find more/ better jobs and in the outback you can only work on a farm. If you lived in the outback, your best friends would be your family and the animals on the farm. The airplane is the only possibility to have contact with the other settlements. For kids the “School of Air” ,in the outback is the only chance for education.

 

School:

Australia has compulsory school attendance, but it is not so serious like in Europe. Australian kids starts with the Preschool, then comes the Primary School and last but not least the High School. An important thing for the everyday life at the schools are the volunteer staffer (parents) at the schools in Australia. Almost on all schools they have to wear uniforms.

Work:

For the Australians work is not really an important thing. It`s only to make money. The most people are farmers in the outback, but in big cities the work like surf teachers, they work in a office, as scientists or in a restaurant.

Free time:

Australians live for the free time with the family. Often they go to the beach or they go in the water, but they also do so much sport, e.g. something like surfing, sailing, fishing or swimming, too. They often have a long weekend because the holidays are at the beginning at the week.

 

Society:                                 

The Australians are very tolerant.The motto of the Australians is “ No worries!”, so the have a relaxed life!

Australia has got 21 holidays. In January New Years day (legally) and Australia Day /National holiday (legally), February Royal Hobart Regatta ( regional), March Labour Day ( regional) ,Canberra Day ( regional), Eight Hours Day ( regional), Good Friday  ( legally), Easter Saturday ( regional), April Easter Monday( legally), Easter Tuesday ( regional), Anzac Day ( legally), May May Day (regional), June Western Australia Day ( regional), Queens Birthday ( regional), August Picnic Day (regional), September Family and Community Day ( regional), October Labour Day ( regional), November Recreation Day ( regional), Melbourne Day (regional), December Christmas Day ( legally) and Boxing Day ( legally) second Christmas Day.

The majority are Christians, then comes the Roman Catholics religion with 26,6 %, 20,7 % are Anglican and again 20,7 are of other Christian faith. 1,5 people profess to the Islam, only 0,3 have belief in the Aborigine- Religion, so it is the minority in Australia.
