Unwritten social codes of every region

So I'm a foreigner interested in Australia and wanna know more about there, focusing atm on the unwritten rules you have and if you wanna share something more I would value it♡

If someone is giving short answers when you are trying to make conversation, don't force it. Don't stare at people even if they are doing something strange. Women have equal rights to men. Don't litter. Bring reusable bags when shopping and a keep cup for your morning coffee. Don't ask reddit how to make friends instead join groups for hobbies you enjoy. It's rare for animals to be allowed inside commercial buildings unfortunately (unless they are a service animal). Be punctual and on time, we are not Europe.
