Australia's national identity embodies the 'Australian way of life', reflecting the traditional virtues of mateship, egalitarianism, and 'a fair go', as well as the more modern Australian values of tolerance, equality, and co-operation. This is an accessible, insightful introduction to the development of Australia's national identity.
