German Australians (German: Deutsch-Australier) are Australians of German ancestry. German Australians constitute one of the largest ancestry groups in Australia, and German is the fifth most identified European ancestry in Australia behind English, Irish, Scottish and Italian. German Australians are one of the largest groups within the global German diaspora. It has been a large part of Australia's multicultural background, with Hahndorf being one of the most popular and important tourist areas.
