Australia was settled by the English, so its early cultural influence was primarily English, and hence Western-influenced, rather than Asian. Australia remains a predominantly white population, although cultural influences from all over the world, including Asia, are becoming more pronounced. Geographically, Australia is south of southeast Asia. It is more prone to droughts and bushfires, being made up largely of desert and bushland. Southeast Asia tends to suffer more by way of flooding resulting from cyclones and typhoons (cyclones in Australia rarely bring major flooding). Southeast Asia is also positioned along the Great Rim of Fire, where much seismic activity takes place. Australia is not bothered by seismic activity which, although present, is too far underground to cause any major damage (except for Newcastle in 1989).
