This document discusses multiculturalism in the movie "Australia" through three examples: 1. A party scene uses Chinese decorations like lanterns and calligraphy, showing the influence of Asian culture in Australia. 2. A bar has a picture of a Chinese woman on the wall, further evidence of multiculturalism. 3. A Japanese woman in a kimono is seen at a men's bar, assumed to be a geisha, representing the Japanese community in Australia despite Japan bombing the country during World War II.

movie. The is actually for the white people, but the
theme is using the Chinese theme (shown by the
lampion and Chinese letter on it).

picture of a Chinese woman on the wall. It gives us another
evidence of the multiculturalism existence.

December 1941, the imperial Japanese navy
steamed south, unleashing their fire on Darwin, a
city in the northern territory of Australia.

7. On this scene we can see a Japanese woman. We
assume that she is a geisha since she uses a kimono
with heavy make-up. Moreover, she walks around a
men bar. Therefore, we assume she is a geisha.
