The Beartooth Plateau and Stillwater Complex Interpretive Sign, Fishtail, Montana, USA

The information on this sign speaks for itself but one thing about travel is that it exposes you to different cultural and behavioural models in one country as opposed to another.
One of my overarching comparisons with Australia is the relative differences between the way US citizens, that I encountered, value their cultural, historical and natural heritage including their attitudes to preservation of the landscape and the importance of their National Parks.
I've traveled extensively in the USA and Europe and also within Australia and at the risk of offending some my impressions are that Australians simply don't value these attributes to the same degree that Americans do.
Evidence of this is found for example in the respect paid to interpretive and other signage by US citizens and, of course by travelers of other nationalities within the USA.

Virtually nowhere in 3 trips to the USA and Canada over the years have I seen graffiti vandalising educational interpretive signs.

I would like to stress that these are my observations alone and they're not backed up by any data but unfortunately I see this lack of valuation and respect for public interpretive signage relatively often in my travels in Australia.
Are there any sociology majors out there who may be able to offer some insights and data examining if and if so, why there could be a relative lack of respect for natural landscapes and public infrastructure between the peoples of various nation states.
