Australia is young and old country at the same time, therefore the culture and traditions of this country-continent consist of three absolutely various components.

According to seniority, the first main part is the ancient culture of natives who appeared at the Australian continent more than 70 thousand years ago. And though they had considerably smaller impact on culture of modern Australia, than, for example, Maori on culture of New Zealand, bases of the Green continent culture belong to Australian natives.

The second whale on whom Australian traditions and culture stand is close connection with Great Britain. The British immigrants, moving to the other end of the world, transferred the habits and customs with themselves. Australia owes much to the general British school having the artists among whom Thomas Roberts and Artur Striton became the real classics, the architects - William Uordell and Edmund Bleket who revived the interest to a gothic style on the Australian continent, and writers (Thomas Keneali, Peter Karey).

And, at last, the third component which already has the dominating value comprises the customs and culture which arose actually on the Australian soil and in the country of Australia. Australia is glorified by well-known actors, such as Nichole Kidman, Russell Crowe and Mal Gibson. Australia became the homeland of pop idols of 20 and 21 centuries, such as ageless Kylie Minogue and INXS and AC/DC groups. There are also its own traditions connected both with short Australian history, and with ancient customs of natives [1].
