Folklore Prior to European invasion,
Aboriginal people lived all through out Australia during a period of time called the Dreamtime. The dreamtime is full of various myths and stories that are widely spread all through out the Australian culture. These stories a re mainly about how the Earth, Sun and all creation came to be.
Examples are Dinewan the Emu, and
Goomblegubbon the Bustard
The Galah, and Oolah the Lizard
Bahloo the Moon and the Daens

Clothing In the workforce Australians
tend to dress light because of the constant heat. Long socks, tailored shorts, and a light shirts. In the city and workplace areas people tend to dress formal and casual in their spare time as well as on weekends.
Children wear uniforms and sunscreen year round. Sun tans are looked upon as foolishness since Australia has the highest rate for skin cancer.
