Australians tend to be modest, hospitable, polite, and contact-seeking when they first meet a stranger. Be prepared for circumstances where strangers will meet you, look you in the eyes, and strike up a discussion with you that you might not have anticipated happening in your native country.

In Australian culture, honesty and modesty are highly valued. Australians are very humble as a result, and they are always careful to avoid coming across as if they believe themselves to be superior to others. They also frequently place a high emphasis on genuineness, humor, and informality while detesting pretentiousness.
