From Encyclopedia Britannica:

"Australians are proud of their heritage and progress-proud of the fact that a nation of convicts and working-class folks could build a modern egalitarian society in a rough and inhospitable land. They typically disdain the pompous and ostentatious, and they are often characterized as informal and 'laid back,' an impression fostered by the typical and now internationally recognized greeting among 'mates' and 'sheilas': G'day (Good day). Their tastes in popular fashions and entertainment differ little from those in Europe and North America, and their humor is often characterized as sarcastic, ironic, and self-deprecating."
