Answer 2

Hey,

I'm an Indian living in Sydney, Australia for 16 yrs now and I can guarantee you that Australia is highly multicultural. Though you may not see many other nationalities in the country or bush towns, towards the more urban or city side it is a big change. Despite the facts given by 'wikipedia', by observance the most common nationalities are definitely what they call 'wogs' (not to be rude) meaning countries such as Greece, Italy, Turkey, Lebanon, there are also many people from Egypt and the middle east. Asians also hold a strong majority including Chinese, Vietnamese, Indian, Sri Lankan, Korean. Surprisingly you don't see many English or Americans as the other nationalities. There have recently been a surge of immigrants from Africa, countries such as sierria Leone, Ghana, Ethiopia etc. By the way, there are many New Zealanders, Australia has a close bond with them.
