What did the English demand that the Dutch do?

As they said in the Old West: Time for you to get out of Dodge. Not really, it was more like a corporate takeover where the management was kicked out but the labor was kept in place. Dutch settlers were invited to remain in place and on the job with a guarantee that they were free to practice their own religion without interference. The farmers, lumbermen, masons, carpenters, drovers, brickmakers and smiths all cut their own (and a much better) deal with their new proprietors and stayed on the job.Their Dutch religious leaders took an oath to not seek converts among the English settlers and stayed to care for their flock.Even the new English settlers were given more favorable servitude contracts and larger grants of land. It was a win/win for everyone but the top Dutch Management Team and believe it or not the deal worked. New Netherlands was gone and England's New York was a better place for it. The New World melting pot concept was put into action.


What is the main culture in Australia?

Australia's main culture is essentially westernised, as the country was founded by the British. It is now also richly multicultural, due to large numbers of immigrants, particularly since World War II. Because of this, many people celebrate a variety of cultural experiences from both Europe and and Asian influences. American influences have become stronger since the advent of TV and American television shows. However, Australia still maintains something of its past, when it was based on pride in the land, on the bushies, stockmen, drovers and swagmen and the men who built their futures on the land, as well as the women who gave up everything to be with their husbands. The Bush and the Outback were concepts unique to Australia alone, so featured strongly in Australian literature, painting, popular music, films and foods - all of which make up the cultural experience. It was also from the bush (and the goldrush era) that bushrangers arose, along with the raising of certain bushrangers to legendary status. Men such as Henry Lawson and Andrew 'Banjo' Paterson, who wrote about the land and the hardworking bushfolk, had a large part to play in the development of Australia's culture in this regard. They highlighted the courage of the Bush men and women, their endurance and determination, and their ability to overcome the impossible by sheer grit and hard work. These and later writers highlighted the way these people bounced back from tragedy (e.g. unpredictable bushfires and floods). Although the Aborigines were often treated poorly in reality, they, too, featured in Bush and Outback legends, being respected for their incredible stealth and tracking abilities, as well as sheer ingenuity at surviving in such a harsh land. The Bush also epitomised freedom - freedom from authority (hence Waltzing Matilda and the swagman who escapes the law after stealing a sheep), spending one's days "on the wallaby track" and one's nights under the stars. The ability to live off the land transferred to the learning of survival skills, and this paved the way for the development of the ANZAC legends. Again, the common theme of grit, determination and surviving despite all odds is strong.


Does Australia have a culture unique and independent from other countries?

Australia itself has its own unique culture. However, within Australia there are a multitude of different cultures, from various European cultures to Asian, to Middle Eastern and so on. Australia is very multi-cultural, and there are some fears that the unique Australian identity is disappearing into the mist of all these other cultures.
