The Australians who have arrived since 1788 have mainly come from places that bear little resemblance to their new home: places without deserts, with regular seasons, with flowing rivers and lush plains. How has this unique, ancient land helped to develop a distinctive national identity in Australia? What is the influence of the natural world on the Australian national identity forged since 1901?
