About 600k Aussies travel to mainland Europe every year (3% of the population)... so I think they might have a small clue to the cultural diversity. Whilst about 10% of the Australian population lives out of a city and probably way less then 3% in the Outback. I'd actually say we understand less about our own Outback.

And yes in our census we define our ethnic origins a bit more accurately then the approximate continent.
