Although Australia and Australians are generally a relaxed enjoy-yourself society, there are some social do's and don'ts. Business suits are expected for business occasions even in sub-tropical areas. Beachwear is not acceptable too far away from the beach. Today, Australians are generally helpful and considerate towards bemused tourists, even those with a poor command of English. Even the smaller capitals are quite cosmopolitan thanks to the official policy of multiculturism.
Australian society is secular and tolerant.
Tourists who behave with a modicum of decorum and commonsense need not fear offending local sensitivities. From the tasty Chinese and Asian delicacies to Italian and European, African, North and South American there are delights to tempt all tastes. Australia's harvest of abundant fresh fruit and vegetable is guaranteed. Sydney and Melbourne are recognised for their internationally numerous restaurants. Every conceivable taste is available, from the humble fish and chips to Wichetty Grubs and Crocodile to haute cuisine.
