the United States and 31.5 times larger than
the United Kingdom.

4. The arts
The arts in Australia, including the fields
of cinema, music, visual arts, theatre, dance and
crafts often reflect general trends in Western
arts. However, the arts as practiced by
Australians represent a unique Australian
cultural tradition, and Australia's landscape and
history have contributed to some unique
variations in the styles inherited by Australia's
various migrant communities.

government schools, non-government schools
(including faith-based schools such as Catholic
or Islamic schools) and schools based on
educational philosophies.

8. Food
Australian cuisine in the 21st century reflects the
influence of globalisation, with many fast-food
restaurants and international trends becoming
influential. Organic and biodynamic foods have also
become widely available. Australia has become
famous for the high quality of its exports
including wheat, fruit
and nuts, vegetables, milk, sheep and lambs (for
meat and wool), poultry. The country is also well
regarded for its locally-made wine, beer and soft
drinks.

10. Sports

and the America's Cup.¨
