Pick up an Australian novel or movie, or head to one of our many theatres or galleries and you'll find a country that's well and truly moved past its cultural cringe.

Our writers, performers and artists are increasingly celebrated at home and internationally as having a unique and original voice. Creative Types is a new ABC series profiling six very different Australian artists and it's presented by award-winning broadcaster and journalist Virginia Trioli.
