    I got up early one day so I could take the ferry boat up to Mosman Bay when I noticed something. There were hoards of people heading into Sydney CBD for their day at work and the vast majority of them were wearing black. Everywhere I looked I saw people dressed in black. Some women accented their black attire with a pair of red shoes or pink ribbon and the men wore mainly white shirts but some were renegade and actually wore light blue shirts and *gasp* I saw one man wearing a purple shirt with his suit. Now I don't know if this is a fashion trend but it cracked me up to see it.

  • It is a multicultural city with little enclaves of many diverse cultures. As a result you will find fabulous stores, restaurants, clubs, etc catering for all your tastes and needs. Enjoy the diversity -- you will see it in the faces as you stroll down the street.

    One of the few Australians who have made it - most Australians are proud of her being an Australian. ... Maybe this hype is also happening because she isn't that ugly..... ;-)

    Generally Australians will be friendly to you after you make the first move. Unlike Canadians who are warmly forthcoming and helpful, Australians tend to be a bit more conservative in their 'first approaches', although pls note generalisations are just that -- very general. U should also be a bit wary that while it may look like aussies are a bit arrogant (not all peacocks open their feathers for you), they are not really arrogant that way. I found that as long as I made the effort, most aussies were very friendly, helpful and warm towards me. U have to show that you've adapted to their place.

  • I'm tempted to say you can do what you like - but I guess its like accents - you think you speak neutral and everyone else sounds strange . . . men and women are treated fairly equally (like most other places) - other than that just be nice - smile, thank people, don't get agressive - all the usualy stuff!

    Here is a photo of an Aborigine playing the didgeridoo. Aborigines in Australia, similar to Native Americans of the USA, got a "raw deal" when their country was settled by Europeans.

    CULTURAL TIPS or CULTURAL LINKS... Our friends and close relatives in Australia...make us want to visit them. Sydney appears to be a cosmopolitan city. There are people of many races, religons and cultures. However, my interest was in the Aboriginal people of Australia. These people were there well before their land was colonised. However, some areas and roads have Aboriginal names.
