3. Read about some popular symbols of Australia below and say which of them is an iconic Aussie brand, iconic institution, iconic activity, nature icon, iconic figure, arts and culture icon, iconic face?

Banjo Paterson. Who’d have guessed that a Melbourne lawyer would turn out to be among the new nation’s best-loved poets? His poem The Man is probably Australia’s most recited poem, while Banjo’s story of an unlucky swagman (a person carrying a swag or bundle of belongings) is the country’s unofficial national anthem.

The bush. Unspoiled land beyond the city with natural vegetation. The bush was something that was uniquely Australian and very different to the European landscapes familiar to many new immigrants. The bush was appreciated as a source of national ideals. The Australian bush has created the Australian character.

ANZAC. Members of the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps in World War I. Anzac Day, which falls on April 25, is a national holiday. Delicious biscuits (cookies), made with oats and golden syrup, are also known as Anzacs.

Drover. A person who herds stock or sheep over a long distance.

Qantas. The name was originally an acronym for Queensland and Northern Territory Aerial Services. Nicknamed The Flying Kangaroo, Qantas is Australia’s largest airline, and the second oldest in the world. Founded in November 1920, it began flying international services in May 1935.

Crocodile. This ancient survivor has become a symbol of the Top End, the northern part of the Northern Territory in Australia.

AFL. The abbreviation stands for Australian Football League. The first rules of Aussie rules football were published by the Melbourne Football Club in 1859 and it is a favourite weekend pastime for many.
