'The aim of this paper is to highlight the reasons of the transformation of what is called the ‘Anglo-Australian identity’ through the analysis of films, poetry and plays. Such an hyphenated identity allows the dominance of the ethnic, hybrid group who believes itself to represent the authenticity of the inhabitants of that place.' (pp. 123-124)

Epigraph: The Land farther in, that is lower than what borders on the Sea, was so much that we saw of it, very plain and even; partly Savannahs, and partly Woodland. The Savannahs, bear a sort of thin course Grass. The Mould is also coarser Sand than that by the Sea-side, and in some places ‘tis Clay. Here and a great many Rocks in the large Savannah we were in, and round at top a Hay-cock, very remarkable; some red and some white. The Woodland lies farther in Still; whence there were divers sorts of small Trees. (Dampier 1996, p33)
