Why is Australia associated with green and gold??

These were formally established in a proclamation by the Governor-General, Sir Ninian Stevens, dated 19 April 1984.\n\nGreen and gold are the colours commonly used by Australians when representing their county in international sporting events. These are the predominant colours found on many species of Wattle, namely, green foliage and golden inflorescences.

We'll, I'm Australian. Personally I think the US stands for many great things but over recent times this has really been overshadowed by negatives that many US people do not seem to understand. Many seem to have a US centric world view and don't care what the rest of the world thinks, this is very negative. The US must engage and become more active in positive issues and not just hand out aid money. I think most Aussies still like Americans but try to think more global. I.E sign the Kyoto agreement and be more even handed to those that need assistance.

Gold  = MONEY $$$$$$\n\nEveryone is VERY fond of money. \nSo I don't think that there's a huge difference about which parts of the world would like it more or less.

In lots of ways Australia has a good outlook when it comes to embracing\nthe different cultures present.  The only problem I see is the absolute\nhatred of the aboriginal race.  I can't believe how accepted it is to bash\nthem. It really is a shame.

The land where kangaroos and koalas run through the streets, everyone is known Bruce or Sheila, G'day mate is the only greeting known and the people have close relationships with their sheep...only joking!!\n\nI think Australia is a great country, very similar to my own country South Africa- probably the reason why there are so many South Africans staying in Australia (most noticeably Perth).\n\nAussie women are great (someone like Imogen Bailey-wow) although men of Australia...that's a whole different story.\nI think its cool that Aussies put so much into their sport-especially their cricket and swimming.\nAnd the fact that they are a country that believes in their convictions and are not afraid to stand up for those convictions (even though it may make them unpopular with some other countries) is cool.\n\nAlthough maybe you could get them to stop singing Waltzing Matilda before rugby games...;-)

The Australians were actually just as involved in the Vietnam War and the Americans. There were several batallions of fighting forces during the same period as the U.S. involvement. Also, many os the issues in America were seen with the Australians, such as protests and peace movements. \n\nThe difference is the communists all got forgotten Australia's involvement, and reestablished relationships with Australia soon after the war ended. Both countries have had an economic relationship for a very long time compared to other countries.\n\nCurrently, Australians make a large portion of travelers and tourists to Vietnam. Also, Australia has a well established Viet community, and is often the favored coutry to immigrate to because of how dificult it is to enter America.

Although gold is more expensive and popular, I don't like it because I consider it an eyesore. Gold is a yellowy color that sticks out, while silver is a grey-white toned and can blend with other colors better.
