soc.culture.australian
Australian culture and society.
From Vegemite defence to native-title debates, soc.culture.australian covered Australian life for locals and expats. Its 1990s threads on republic vs. monarchy and on Aboriginal reconciliation track the national conversation of that decade closely.
The group maintained long-running FAQ posts for migrants and travellers that were, for years, among the better practical guides available online.
