1st: At the time I used to cringe at what we used to trot out as 'Aussie identity', these days I look back at it with with nostalgia. These days you'd go a long way to see a piece of advertising of the type with a gum tree in it or a bit green and gold. Sigh.
I cringe when they ham up the old school stereotype Aussie today. Nothing will ever match the 70s and 80s no matter how much they try and relive it now.

Did you see the GTS ad? That was an early example of computer graphics. Sure, not involving background images, but related to your point.
Ahh, if only victa had kept producing the thumblatch catcher series, they would be in better shape today!
Found this 1979 footage of people being asked about refugees in Sydney. Note how clearly they speak and the English bent in their voices, compared to today.

I'm sick of the chestnut of it being a "big country" we have the room. Sydney and Melbourne doesn't. One of the right wing (correct wing more like) commentators on an AM station mentioned that 80% of an intake settled in Sydney town. I agree with the ones against in the video. The ones for are in cloud cuckoo land.
