Australia and Britain ?

>Heidi< · 08-20-2008, 07:36 PM

Hi I´m Heidi from Germany and I need some information for my presentation about the relationship between the UK and Australia today.Do British feel any connection with the Australians, just because they speak the same language and have the same head of state?

...glad about every answer

Many people in UK have moved to Australia. They share same culture.

Hi there!

I'm from UK and I'm new to this forum.

I expect I'm too late responding to this to be of any help. Australia is very culturally close to UK, most early settlers coming from there. There has always been immigration from other parts of the world, from gold rush days through resettling displaced people after both world wars, and more recently for other reasons. There are now areas in Australian cities where the population is largely from other countries, and English hardly heard spoken, but that is not a majority.

Some Australians look to U.K. as a guiding light, some to U.S., but although we are a relatively new and small nation we are quite independent. Australians had British nationality until U.K. joined the E.C. and no longer recognised Australians as British. The Queen of England remains our figurehead only, because Australians, mainly wanting to be a republic, could not agree on what type of republic.
