This is what I learnt to talk about from my teacher, can u check if it is right, or way off
Christian denominations within Australia developed different characteristic in different areas because they rarely connected with each other because of the great distance involved. Each denomination worked in specific areas e.g. evangelicals concentrated in Sydney while Anglicans concentrated in rural areas. This accounts for the strong Anglican community in rural Australia. Christianity has influenced the physical environment – most town have its church in prominent positions and some denominations are returning large areas of church-owned land to the traditional owners. This will have an impact on how the physical environment develops in the future. Until WWII the dominant cultural influences came from the United Kingdom. Now the United States has shown greater influence. As Australians have become aware of the importance of Aboriginal culture in Australian life, so Christianity has gained more respect for Aboriginal spirituality. Christianity has in turn, influenced our legal, health and political systems, and in towns and cities throughout Australia churches play an important role in the local culture.

could i also mention that Australia’s cultural sense of tolerance and a ‘fair go’ for all left little place for sectarianism in the second half of the century and therefore led to ecumenism within the Christian church??
