Culture and history of Australia
Over 80 percent of Australia’s population is of European ancestry, and most of the remainder is of Asian ethnicity, with a smaller minority of indigenous people. After the abolition of the “White Australia” policy in 1973, several government initiatives were established to encourage and promote ethnic harmony based on the policy of multiculturalism. Although English is the most used language or the popular language in Australia as well as in government institutions, but it is not the official language of the country, it has been termed as a semi-official language.
Humans inhabited the continent of Australia between 42,000 and 48,000 years ago, and it is believed that after the migration of humans who came from Southeast Asia through land bridges and sea crossings, these new inhabitants could be the ancestors of the original inhabitants of Australia. Most of Australia’s aborigines were hunters, fishers and gatherers at the time of European colonization in the late 18th century.
