Do most Australians have light-colored hair and blue or green eyes?

I was wondering if most Australians look Northern European. The ones I have met personally have all been blonde haired and blue-eyed and the ones I see in the media are also mostly blonde, save for Hugh Jackman. I know there are some aboriginals left on there but it seems amazing that a whole country could have such a huge population of mostly blonde people. I guess it would be the English blood. So how diverse is Australia, really? Again I know there are some Aboriginals left and also Asians and Indians but I am assuming they are a small minority. I have also noticed the same thing about New Zealanders. Thanks.

    The white Aussies are quite blonde, but you will find they are actually MORE blonde than either the English or the Irish, neither who whom are particularly blonde people, yet have contributed to the population in Australia. Probably some is sun bleaching and then a smaller genepool. Australia is becoming more diverse now with residents from many different countries.
