Like the movie Gallipoli, Crocodile Dundee influenced Australia in a number of different ways. These films generated global good will for Australia which in turn created a step incline in tourism, especially from the United States. “Crocodile Dundee put Australia on the map in America,” said Julian Redwood who is a director of the documentary ‘selling Australia’ which looked into the film's impact. She also stated that “Hogan’s character shaped the American view of Australia and is still relevant today.” which shows that Crocodile Dundee’s careful use of characterisation effects on how the rest of the world sees Australia are bases and a main source of influence to many following films. Crocodile Dundee promoted the country to be a destination
I strongly recommend that the film Red Dog be exemplified in the film festival since it offers a reasonable and truthful depiction of Australia given the films time period. The film like no other nails the acts of mateship, gives an impeccable image of the Australian landscape as well as a fantastic representation of the Aussie male. During the movie a strong connection is created within two main characters which in turn represents the beautiful and loyal relationship Aussies can have, or other known as
So much to do here in Australia, there is just no time for anywhere else anyway.” (Trent Parke, 2014). Parke explores the Australian identity through his emotion and interest in relation to the
What does it really mean to be Australian? Is Australia really just: bushland, hot sunny beaches, native animals and having to have a laid back attitude? These are just common stereotypes about the ‘land down under’. With Australia settled by the British colony many of its inhabitants were the leftover convicts from Europe. After world war 2 boat people and asylum seekers arrived in Australia hoping for a new life.
Australia is the land of the fair go for a very select number of demographics, while the other 90% of people experience Australia as anything but. People who cannot experience Australia as the land of the fair go are people that have to deal with abusive fathers, discrimination, being subjected to racism and being part of poor large families. Australia may have been dubbed as the land of the fair go, but Australia is no such
Robert Drewe’s 1996 novel The Drowner is, among other things, a representation of Western Australian lifestyle, culture and identity in the late 19th century. At the time, Australia was still a young nation; an “underdog” among Western countries. However, numerous gold rushes brought wealth and prosperity to the nation, attracting millions of immigrants from mainly European countries. Australia’s national identity developed into one centred around the values of hard work, perseverance and mateship—values which are still central to our identity today.
There is no doubt that ‘Crocodile Dundee’ has put Australia on the map and has attracted great tourist interest on an international
The language through these lines significantly present readers with the opportunity to reflect on their own home by forcing the audience to question their relationships with their current nation.

Remy Scalone Geography essay on should other countries aim to be like Australia. Should other countries aspire to be like Australia?

I am here to propose a young couple to move from Chapel Hill, USA, to Sydney, Australia. The young couple that are moving to this wonderful place are Mr and Mrs Smith. The Smiths have decided to move from Chapel Hill because they wanted better technology for their work because they want to exceed in IT. Also, they moved because the economic is bad and as a colder climate. So, the reason why they chose Sydney was because there is a warmer climate, more job opportunities, there is better urbanisation and better economics.
As patriotic Australians we pride ourselves to be a nation that accepts and respects the beliefs of all cultures, but on this historical day majority of Australians tend to forget the true meaning behind the celebration. If you ask today’s society, what they did this Australia day mass numbers would respond with “binged on alcohol” and “indulged in a barbecue.” Consequently, this day cannot be called a national celebration when some of our fellow Australians are grieving while others are out celebrating an occasion they know little about. Giving due regard to the indigenous people and their mostly negative perspective on this issue should be a priority. A new date, not the 26th of January should be established, as rather than unite, it seems to divide Australians into different viewpoints.
Persuasive Speech Ah Australia. The land of opportunity. The land of freedom and equality. The land of wealth and good health. The lucky country.
The gist of the slogan is to persuade the citizens that what they want is what they already have. “War Is Peace” since having a mutual enemy keeps the people of Oceania united. “Freedom Is Slavery” because, according to The Party, the man who is sovereign is doomed to fail. “Ignorance Is Strength” because the incapability of the people to distinguish these illogicalities adhesives the power of the strict regime. This slogan changes the truth; it causes the citizens to have faith in that anything they want other then what their government wants can only make them unhappy.
From the 1970’s Australians have been viewed as bush people as they were seeming as heroic and brave. Never the less, internationally, Australians have been showcased as vulgar, racist that have strong pride for their country. Consequently, Australia has also been viewed as an alcoholic nation as companies continuously push the stereotype to market their products. In turn, Australian’s collective identity is made up of multiple other stereotypes that have been fed into. Despite being incorrectly portrayed; the Australian identity has a positive effect on Australian culture.
The first attempt and success to climb Mt. Everest occured in 1953. Since then, almost 4,000 people have been able to scale the mountain, but over 230 people have not been able to climb it successfully. There is a chance of accident or death when climbing this mountain or any dangerous activity. All people should should have the right to rescue services even if they knowingly put themselves at risk because there is always a chance of an accident happening, rangers are there to save people in danger, and there are rescue vehicles being produced to be used in case of an emergency.
