[00:01.30]Wow! How do these different cultures

[00:04.27]affect different aspects of Australian culture?

[00:07.26]Well, for example, we see all these influences

[00:10.41]in modern Australian cooking.

[00:12.68]Chefs call it 'fusion food"-

[00:14.98]a brilliant mixture of delicious Douthern

[00:17.66]European food mixed with Southeast Asian food.

[00:21.10]The desserts are the best-they're so yummy!

[00:23.70]Sounds tasty!

[00:25.31]And kangaroos are tasty too!

[00:27.55]In Melbourne, the only place

[00:29.24]we ever see kangaroos is on the menu

[00:31.47]in a restaurant.

[00:32.81]You mainly see kangaroos in the vast area

[00:35.23]of desert in the middle of Australia.

[00:37.70]This is a great place for camping

[00:40.36]but you have to look out for snakes and spiders

[00:43.43]Australia has some of the most dangerous

[00:45.36]in the world.

[00:47.54]So do many people live in the desert?

[00:49.98]Not really.

[00:51.68]There are people who work inthe mines,

[00:54.09]of course.

[00:55.38]Australia actually exports the most diamonds

[00:57.57]and coal in the world!

[00:59.30]And there are also a lot of sheep farms

[01:01.33]in the desert areas-

[01:03.23]in fact. I've heard that there are seven sheep

[01:06.44]for every person.

[01:08.24]But most Australians live on the coast.

[01:10.73]That's why surfing is such a popular sport.
