it's easy for outsiders to think of Aus as ex-pat Brits (knotted hankies, sunburns and all) and Aborginals!

I reckon you're right with this here mate. I guess that's what I've been trying to demonstrate. If you went back as little as two generations you'd have been pretty close, but things have really changed here over the last 30 years or so, and I suppose it takes the rest of the world a while to understand that. For example, there's a study somewhere which I can't find, but it gives you a picture of what an average Sydney resident looked like 20 years ago, and then it gives you a picture of what an average Sydney resident will look like in 20 years time. The former is of white anglo saxon complexion. The latter is of european/asian complexion. Maybe it's accurate and maybe it's not. I think it's probably pretty spot on though. Anyway, it doesn't matter. If people care they'll go ahead and check it out for themselves.
