Traditions, Inhabitants Sharing, and Languages
In 2001, there were 18.8 million individuals living in Australia. Of these persons, two-thirds were placed in Major Cities. The other were counted mostly in Inner and Outer Regional areas (31%), with only 3% of persons counted in either Remote or Very Remote areas. The amount of the inhabitants counted in each of the Remoteness Areas varied significantly across the states and territories. In 2001, round about all of the population of the Australian Capital Territory (99.8%) was situated in a Major City, while the Northern Territory had higher proportions of persons in Remote (22%) and Very Remote (25%) areas than any other state or country.

Australia is a multicultural civilization. Until WWII, Australians were mainly of Anglo-Celtic fall, but that has changed significantly. A big number of immigrants from Greece, Italy, Yugoslavia, Lebanon and Turkey came after the fighting and these have been supplemented by more new influxes of immigrants from Asia. There are also about 380,000 Aborigines and Torres Strait Islanders. Consequently, lots of Australians speak Italian, Greek, Lebanese, Vietnamese or Arabic as their primary verbal communication.
