has brought me to my first open-air barbecue and has also shared many different but yummy meals with me,so my first impressions of Australia have been all about food!A lot of typical Australian food,such as the Sunday roast,is originally British.Bakeries,fast-food joints,butcher shops,cafes,and restaurants everywhere provide some of the premier food experiences in the world.The influence of Asian cultures,on the other hand,led to the introduction of bean curd and Asian herbs,along with Australian versions of foods like the Chinese-inspired dim sim.How has Australian cuisine been

population and they are very influential.()3.Didgeridoo is a musical instrument made from a hollow tree branch and it has no finger holes.()4.Every Aborigine can play didgeridoo for a long time without stopping to breathe.()FTTF3 OctMy friend and I have arrived in Katherine,a town in Australias Northern Territory.Were here to learn about the life and customs of the Aborigines,who are native to Australia.The Aboriginal population might be small,but its influence is still visible.For example.To survive in this vast land on the ocean,the Aborigines had to be in close contact with nature.This shows in their music,too,which celebrates the natural world and the spiritual world around them.Most of their musical instruments are really just sticks found on the ground,among which there is an amazing instrument called the didgeridoo.The didgeridoo is made from a tree branch which is hollow.To play the didgeridoo,.What is the main theme reflected in Aboriginal music?Careful-reading Blog4:Reflections on multiculturalism（Oct.6th)6 OctIts almost time for me to say goodbye to Australia.Ive enjoyed my time here very much.After being here for a while,my biggest impression is the complicated mix of peoples and cultures that make up the nation.Although the main cultural influence since 1788 has been Western culture,minority cultures have also played a part in shaping the unique Australian culture,with many of the new cultural influences contributed by immigrants.It is said that now nearly half of all Australian citizens were either born overseas or have parents who were born overseas.Personally speaking,what I like most about Australia is the people themselves.What is the writers biggest impression of Australia?Topic Key informationReflections on
