An Australophile is one who appreciates or expresses love of Australian culture, the Australian people, Australian history or all things Australian in general.[1] An Australophile may extend to someone who is born outside Australia and the definition is not limited to an Australian itself. The concept of Australophilia is opposed to Australophobia, which is the dislike or fear of Australia and its cultural aspects.

The phenomenon was notable in the United States in the 1980's, as many films released at the time took place in Australia or featured Australian characters.

Australia is also a popular choice for students attending universities who are doing study abroad programs
