Overview
In the decades after World War II, an influx of immigrants helped Australia establish a sense of independence from Britain. Today, Australia's economics, politics and culture all reflect its diverse multicultural population. Most of its people enjoy a mild climate, stunning landscapes and a high standard of living. Yet despite increasing appreciation of Indigenous culture, Aborigines and Torres Straight Islanders still struggle for equality and recognition of their rights. This volume introduces the people of Australia and invites the reader to learn about the diversity of their lives, from a flying doctor in Western Australia to a fire fighter near Sydney. Graphic panels show statistics and maps as well as facts about Australia's size, flag, population, religion, currency and language groups.
