Wow! How do these different cultures affect different aspects of Australian culture? Well, for example, we see all these influences in modern Australian cooking. Chefs call it "fusion food" - a brilliant mixture of delicious Southern European food mixed with Southeast Asian food. The desserts are the best - they're so yummy! Sounds tasty! And kangaroos are tasty too! In Melbourne, the only place we ever see kangaroos is on the menu in a restaurant. You mainly see kangaroos in the vast area of desert in the middle of Australia. This is a great place for camping but you have to look out for snakes and spiders - Australia has some of the most dangerous in the world. So do many people live in the desert? Not really. There are people who work in the mines, of course.
