It was very hard.. people do discriminate against you if you're different.. it would be very hard to cope with what people might say about you.


The women's daily activity included collecting and gathering food and later preparing them to eat for their families. They also taught their children about religion and telling them dream stories.

The men's daily activities included hunting for food from the bushes and providing food which is eatable for their families

This varies enormously as Australians have many different roles in Australian life. Australia is a western nation in terms of culture, so if you are familiar with life in Britain or America, it is basically like that. Children go to school from the age of about 5, and their school day starts at around 8:30 am and ends at around 3-3:30 Monday to Friday. Many people also start work around this time, or 9 am until 5 pm... again there is wide variation.

There are three main meals in the day, called breakfast, the midday meal is called lunch, and the evening meal - usually at 6pm or so - is called tea. Either of the last two meals can be called 'dinner' as well.

Saturday for many people is a day of sport, and Sunday is increasingly becoming so as well. Cricket is popular in the summer, and football in the winter - Rugby in the Eastern states, and Aussie Rules in the other states and Victoria. Garage sales, markets and gardening are also popular weekend activities.

Most Australians are urban dwellers, and despite the stereotypes, do not live a rural lifestyle. For those that do, daily life is like most farmers, dependent on the season. For Australian farmers, keeping up to date with rainfall predictions and forecasts is often a daily activity, and at the present time is not a very encouraging one. Much time is taken, especially in drought conditions, to feeding the stock, and ensuring a water supply. With crops, many simply have to watch them die....and in extreme cases, this applies to animals as well.
