Why is Australian proud of their landmarks?

Answer 1

first of all their habit of drinking too much, followed by their sporting prowess, and then their inventiveness.

Australians do not all drink too much. It depends upon one's social circle.

However, things that Australians are proud of include:

• Attaining their independence from Britain in a bloodless way, and their patriotism
• Often being considered "underdogs", yet overcoming this tag to come out on top.
• Sports indeed feature highly - especially their swimmers, tennis players and cricketers
• Their loyalty to their "mates"
• Their freedom of politics, religion, education and so on
• Their love of the outdoors
• To elaborate on the first answer, Australians are proud of their inventiveness. Living in such a harsh and, at time, unforgiving environment, certain adaptations have had to be made. Australians invented the first surf lifesaving reel; the first Hills hoist (for outdoor clothes drying); the stump-jump plough, for ploughing in difficult soils.

Answer 2

The same reason every country takes pride in the beauty nature and unusual features of their landscape and national features. This is the result of nationalism and stands proud right next to racism.
