What does it mean to be Australian?

Australia
Throughout the years, Australia has had lots of migrants from different countrys. In one way or another, all these nationalities have helped shape what Australia is today. This poster I've made is about Sri Lanka and the effect it has on our country.
Food
Food. Every culture has one. Sri Lanka's national food is rice and curry. But this rice and curry is much more than it seems. Sri Lankan rice and curry is actually a feast, with spiced dishs of fish, chicken and vegtables with chutney, papadam and sambol (a type of garnish).
Festivals
They're not well known in Australia, but Sri Lanka has the most festivals and public holidays in the world, and some festivals have made their way to Australia! The four main ones are:
- Sinhala
- Tamil new year
- Ramadan
- Esala Perahera
Games and leisure
When it comes to games, Sri Lanka doesn't have many played here, so I'll just tell you some played in Sri Lanka. Belive it or not, Sri Lanka's national game is volleyball, and they are proud of their cricket.
