Please post some photos of Australians.
I'm about to migrate to Australia but I don't know what the Australians look like. Tried to google some famous Australians but only to find out that Mel Gibson was born in US, Russell Crowe in New Zealand, Nicole Kidman in Hawaii, Guy Pearce in England and Naomi Watts also in England. Few other celebrities like Hugh Jackman, Eric Bana and Cate Blanchett who were born in Australia had at least one non-Australian parent. I heard that Julia Gillard is a Brit, is it true? I googled images of major cities, Sydney etc. and people on streets mostly looked Chinese to me. So, what do the Australians look like? Be kind enough to post some photos, please.

According to the North Shore Times, Lee is the no 1 surname on the North Shore, so not suprised most people look Asian. (It was closely followed by Kim and Wong)

Re: Please post some photos of Australians.
Serious answer to your question.......
Unless you are talking about the small minority who are Australian Aborigines and whos ancestors have been here for millions of years, the rest of the population are immigrants. They have come here (or their forefathers have) from other countries. So, a "Australian" can look like anybody.
