The chart illustrates the percentage of the Australian population that utilized various public cultural facilities during their leisure time in 2010.
In 2010, more than 70% of Australians chose to spend their free time at movie theatres. New immigrants, however, did not share this interest, only roughly 65% of people from English-speaking nations and 50% of people from non-English-speaking nations went to the movies in their spare time. On the other hand, less than 30% of Australians preferred going to the theatre, with 25% of recent immigrants from English-speaking nations doing so and less than 10% of immigrants from other nations.
People living in Australia also frequented libraries and zoos. Libraries were particularly popular among new migrants from non-English-speaking countries, with over half of them choosing libraries over the other three facilities. For new migrants from English-speaking countries and individuals born in Australia, library visitation stood at around 40%.
In conclusion, during this period, zoos were equally popular as libraries, with nearly half of the new migrants from English-speaking countries visiting this leisure facility. Cinemas were the most frequented, while theatres were recognized as the least visited.
