Editor's Notes

  • #16 Starting from the 16th century, the Europeans, like the Spanish, Portuguese, French and Dutchman, explored Australia.   In 1788, the 1st fleet from England sailed along the east coast under the leadership of Captain Arthur Phillip. Later he declared the ownership of the continent to the UK and named it after New South Wales (NSW), he then become the governor.
  • #17 Starting from the 16th century, the Europeans, like the Spanish, Portuguese, French and Dutchman, explored Australia.   In 1788, the 1st fleet from England sailed along the east coast under the leadership of Captain Arthur Phillip. Later he declared the ownership of the continent to the UK and named it after New South Wales (NSW), he then become the governor.
  • #18 Not long after in 1791, The UK started to transport convicts to the New South Wales in order to ease the pressure on its local jails. Those convicts formed a cheap source of labour, thus is attractive to Australia as well. Australia became the penal colony of the United Kingdom.   When the transportation finally ceased in 1868, about 162,000 convicts have already been transported.  
  • #29 So who are Australians? What are the characteristcis of Australians? Let's have a brief understanding of their mindset! Australia is a low context country, foreigners are easily adjusted and immigrants fit in easily. Agreements are in writing mostly with contracts.     Australians mostly express themselves in verbal language instead of non verbal language. It is considered quite normal in Australia to discuss issues, events and ideas openly with other people .  Australians might bring up in conversation issues, which you would consider sensitive or embarrassing or rude .            
  • #34 Every country with its unique culture naturally nurtures a set of customs, so do Australia. First, You can't bargain in Australian shops for food items.  Goods are sold according to the prices at which they are marked.  Only in some streets and weekend markets you may be able to bargain.   When talking to others, some questions are not asked in Australia unless you know a person very well or unless you are related to them.  For example, don't ask someone their age especially an older person and don't ask men or women how much money they earn . Questions about the cost of a person's house and the cost of the various things they own are considered impolite in Australia.  
  • #35 Also,   Tipping is not the usual custom in Australia except in the more expensive restaurants.  People usually tip the waiter or waitress about 10% of the bill, if the service has been satisfactory , but never in fast food shops like Macdonald's.     In Australia, it is not considered shameful for anyone to do manual work and males often share in the housework.  A person sometimes employs a cleaner, who comes once a week to clean the house, but Australians usually do most of the housework, child care and gardening themselves.    This means that they don't have as much free time as people who employ servants.      
  • #36 Australians eat with their fingers only at barbecues or picnics outside the home .  Inside the house , you are usually invited to sit down and to use knives, forks and spoons .  It is the Australian custom to offer food or drink only once .  If your first reply is "No" out of politeness, your "No" will probably be taken literally and food may not be offered again.     Thank you is a phrase used often in Australia.  It is usual to say thank you even for small favours done by people who are just doing their jobs, such as shop assistants or waiters.
  • #50 The table on the left shows us how the states being visited, the share of visitation of different states and the average nights tourists spent. The table on the right tells us Queensland, Gold Coast and Sunshine Coast gain the highest popularity.
  • #51 From this pie chart, we find the top 3 purpose of visit of majority of visitors to Australia is spending their holiday, visiting friends and relatives, also doing business.
  • #52 From this table, we can observe that most tourists prefer to dine at a restaurant or café and go shopping for pleasure. Going to the beach is also an popular activities among visitors to tourist to Australia.
