The extraordinary American success of the Australian film Crocodile Dundee has made it a good time to be an Australian in American. Instead of asking if one is British, or South African, people recognize the Australian accent, the America's Cup, the ANZUS Alliance, Robert Hughes' book on Australia's convict origins. Paul Hogan's tourism commercials and most of all his film, Crocodile Dundee, have all contributed to a small American vogue for Australia.
