Australian culture is founded on stories of battlers, bushrangers and brave soldiers. Of sporting heroes, working heroes and plucky migrants. Today Australia is also defines itself by its Aboriginal heritage, vibrant mix of cultures, innovative ideas and a thriving arts scene. Australians believe in mat ship and a ‘fair go’ and have a strong affection for the underdog of ‘battler’.

This flawed hero’s fight for ‘justice and liberty’ and ‘innocent people’ has been embraced as part of the national culture.  It’s no secret that Australians are sports mad. With more then 120 national and thousands of local, regional and state sporting organizations. The number one watched sport is Australian Rules Football with its high kicks and balletic leaps.
