[00:04.32]Unit12 Culture ShockLesson4 The New Australians

[00:11.05]Is it all kangaroos and surfing?

[00:14.14]Welcome to "Countries of the World".

[00:16.81]Today we're talking about Australia,

[00:19.22]the land of sunshine and surfing.

[00:22.04]George and Fiona are two Australians

[00:24.48]who have joined us for today's show.

[00:26.92]So first of all, tell us a bit about yourselves


[00:31.31]Hi.Well,I live on an acre 1

[00:34.74]of land outside Melbourne

[00:37.18]but my family actually came here

[00:39.26]from Greece in the 1980s--

[00:41.68]in fact, Melbourne is the city

[00:43.68]with the largest number of

[00:45.26]Greek people outside Athens 2!

[00:48.33]At first, we didn't feel we belong here,

[00:51.62]but now we are attached 3 to the land we live on.


[00:54.65]Thanks George.Now here's Fiona from Sydney.


[00:58.61]Hello. Australia is my birthplace

[01:02.45]but my mum came from Scotland 4

[01:04.72]and my dad came from France.

[01:06.92]That's the great thing about Australian culture

[01:10.13]it's such a mix of different cultures.

[01:13.02]The early settlers were mostly English

[01:15.33]and Irish 5, but since 1945,

[01:18.41]the population has become more and more mixed

[01:21.61]with people from Southern Europe and Asia.
