Australia is a country of about twenty-million people or about five percent of the population of the United States, yet the land area is roughly the same size as the U.S. Most people are concentrated along the coastlines because the interior is uninhabitable desert.

Australia was established in the eighteenth century by immigrants from England. The immigrants brought the religions of Catholicism and Church of England, which persist today. Traditional religions are quickly giving way to modern secularism, itself considered a religion.

Australia's government is a socialist model. Health care and education are provided free by the government, but the tax burden to support those services is high.

Australians enjoy a leisurely lifestyle. They place focus on social and outdoor activities. They are very friendly and personable, although individualism is beginning to find its roots as it has in America.

Drinking alcohol is almost a national pastime. Because alcohol is so deeply imbedded in the culture, drinking among youth and children is a serious problem. Drinking, drugs, and harmful habits such as sniffing gasoline are epidemic among Australian natives (Aborigines). They too are a focus for the outreach of the Gospel.

There is a high proportion of Asians as well as Indians, Muslims and European immigrants.
