Traditional costume from around the world - Australia

Australia is a continent, the smallest among the five big continents on planet Earth. The native inhabitants of this continent are those called the Aborigines originated from South East Asia about 40.000 years ago. Then landed, so it is said, the exiled renegades from various parts of the planet Earth. Those were the ones who founded the present civilization of the Australian continent. Australia's history is very vast.  The history is giving Australia also colorful and exotic traditions and costumes. The modern culture of Australia seems to be very lively, influenced by those from other parts of the world, while the Aboriginal tradition is somehow nomadic.

When it comes to traditional costumes, Australia does not have any particular traditional  or national dress. She has what probably called the  bushwear which strangely looks more like a raincoat, khakhi trousers, and its slouch hat.
