The lessons of the past are vital to Australia's future. In the twenty-first century, Australia faces the urgent need to communicate across cultural barriers, and to acknowledge and respect divergent codes of conduct and manners. The history of manners in nineteenth-century Australia helps us to come to terms with our contested past by illuminating the complexities of a colonising culture, and the difficulties of adapting codes of conduct to the needs of a young, disparate and ever-changing society. Exploring the limitations of Australian elitism and egalitarianism, it opens the way for diverse and inclusive understandings of identity and national character.

过去的教训对澳大利亚的未来至关重要。在21世纪的世纪，澳大利亚迫切需要跨越文化障碍进行交流，承认和尊重不同的行为和举止准则。19世纪澳大利亚的礼仪史有助于我们通过阐明殖民文化的复杂性，以及使行为准则适应年轻，不同和不断变化的社会需求的困难，来与我们有争议的过去达成协议。探索澳大利亚精英主义和平等主义的局限性，它为身份和民族性格的多样性和包容性理解开辟了道路。
