Answer this Question

When we asked people about diversity in Australia and whether locals are accepting of differences, they said...

"The size of Adelaide can be a pro or con, based on your personal preference. It's a small city which operates more like a large town and while it is diverse, it can be a bit insular. It takes patience to break through and settle in," said another expat in Adelaide, Australia.

"Australia is a country with a diverse range of cultures, religions, beliefs and customs. People from different backgrounds and cultures co-exist in harmony and openness. The Australian public is generally accepting of differences and celebrates diversity in a variety of forms. People are encouraged to express themselves and their culture in various ways, from food and language to music and art. As such, the diverse culture present in Australia is warmly accepted and embraced," wrote a member who made the move to Australia.
