Is Australia closer to the UK or US?

[PlattitüdenPaule]

Our Southland is unique. I don't see much of a cultural commonality between the Southern states and any part of the modern Anglosphere really.

Rural Dixie culture is more akin to rural Irish and German ones, thats why I said "a bit".

Is Australia closer to the UK or US?

Culturally, mentally and in terms of society? What do you think?

Historically I would say much closer to UK up untill the 1950's.

Gradually increasing influence by the US since the 1960's.

These days probably more influenced by the US for young generations especially.

Remember The UK also has been heavily influenced by the US in the last 50 years.

Australians understand Self-deprecating humor and talking worse to your mates than your enemies. That qualifies them more to the UK than the US
