Australians are very friendly and helpful people, with a great sense of humor and a natural ability to tell jokes and play with words. Some times we may appear cold because of our "private nature" which has been imported over the past 2 decades, but it is just takes time to "break the ice", and everything goes well. It means you can talk about any subject, but for more personal matters, things will take a little bit longer to come out in the open.
The majority of Australians live in coastal areas because the interior of the country called "the Outback", can be a very arid area with many deserts and lack of water. Australians tend to follow each other a bit, like sheep on a hill. This happens because of the stability of Australian Institutions and the strong economy. Australia is considered one of the most competitive nations on Earth. This covers all areas of life including the work place. Australians don't grow roots in the place they were born, especially younger people starting careers. They sell the place and buy another one wherever the job is
The fashion in Australia is pretty casual and laidback. Australians are very informal when it comes to clothes, despite the fact that some work places require a good standard of dressing. "Casual Smart" is required for companies where presentation and image are important. Australians vary in their style of clothing, some loving colorful clothes and stamps, some hating it. Melbourne is the top fashion place in Australia.
