[00:01.67]But it's not the only sport Australians

[00:04.05]are fond of.

[00:05.41]Because the weather's so good.

[00:07.18]Australians like being outdoors.

[00:09.72]Walking, fishing, horse-riding, tennis,

[00:12.82]golf and sailing are all popular.

[00:15.45]We take sport very seriously

[00:17.50]and have produced great Olympic swimmers

[00:19.82]and top cyclists.

[00:21.19]So is Australia all about beach barbecues

[00:24.37]and surfing?

[00:25.31]What about art and literature?

[00:27.54]Contrary to popular belief,

[00:29.34]Australia is not a dull place at all

[00:31.44]for people wanting culture.

[00:33.22]There's really lively cultural scene here.

[00:36.43]Australia has produced some famous painters

[00:39.24]and world--class writers.

[00:41.06]And in Sydney,

[00:42.15]you'll find a broad choice of opera,

[00:44.52]drama, classical concerts,rock concerts

[00:48.18]there's too much choice realy!

[00:50.44]Of course, things are more limited

[00:52.82]if you live in a small town.

[00:54.78]Now, is there anything

[00:55.78]you don't like about Australia?

[00:58.07]I can't bear the way the native Australians

[01:00.98]have been treated.

[01:02.64]They are now a minority group

[01:04.77]and most of them live in terrible conditions

[01:07.59]while the rest of us are quite well-off.

[01:10.22]I think that's unfair.

[01:12.20]The government,is trying to improve things,

[01:14.74]but it seems a bit late,

[01:16.85]I wonder if they'll ever forgive the way

[01:19.58]they've been treated.
