I don't think this person knows much about either country beyond stereotypes
In Australia we believe in equality, so I'll piss off all the states.
Victoria : "afDanistan", wokeville. Small latte drinkers who don't have a driver's licence. Labourers and Stop/Go people on $200,000.
New South Wales: dumb boomers on $3m property. Driving at 80kmh on their Learner drivers plates. Shit at rugby. Sydney nightlife ends at 9pm.
South Australia: "oh yeah I have an auntie there I think." Nothing to do. Their water tastes funny. Churches everywhere. Weird 1.5hr timezone.
Western Australia: If you want to know why there's a wait time for Toyota's, it's bloody WA buying them all. Full of cashed up bogans in lifted land cruisers. Have to watch footy at lunch time because they are 3 timezones away. If you are anti social and don't mind a 6hr drive to anywhere live there.
Tasmania: 10 people live there with a mild sense of imbreeding. Looks kinda nice, but why would you go to Tassy if you can go to New Zealand for the same price.
Northern Territory: biggest employers, the mines and Pine Gap (the CIA base). Otherwise it's Australia's poverty lane.
Australian Capital Territory: Australia's Uni campus. A concrete jungle, a tiny town where we keep the big wigs who are driven everywhere in black BMWs or Camry's.
A concrete jungle
The bush capital being referred to as a concrete jungle is so out of touch it’s almost poetic.
If you are anti social and don’t mind a 6hr drive to anywhere live there.
Looks like I'm bound for West Australia, boys
So which region does Bluey take place in?
Brisbane, capital of QLD

Oh cool! Thanks!
Bluey is based in Queensland, top right.
Thanks!!
The Northern Territory contains no alligators, and three "Alligator River"s
Queensland
batsh*it crazy but fancy
I'm in this picture and I don't like it.
The Margot Robbie account is here now? No wonder this place feels different. It isn't the gay lil leftist meme page it was a few months ago.
It's nice that it's bigger, but there are more right wing trolls targeting this instance than there used to be as a result.
Esteemed Academy Award nominated character actress Margot Robbie shows up wherever she please!
Also, randomly showing up in places is like, one of my thing here.
I don't like it
No I don't, never did
I don't like it
Yep, sounds Queenslander-y
New Jersey right in the middle of California? Sounds like Bakersfield/Fresno/Modesto.
Oregon looks very happy.
I can't speak for the Australian version, but US Oregon is pretty hit or miss depending on which part.
I work on a remote team with three Australians who live in three different states. I'm sure they'll appreciate this! Especially the Ausalabaman guy!
My dumbass who just woke up is like "How do you pronounce Qld?"
Queensland. It's Queensland.
I just assumed that qld was some archaicism that just kinda still existed.
It's the state of something that has been on the receiving end of kvlt.
No way is Victoria NY, more Washington.
Sydney is more NY than anywhere in Victoria IMO.
Sydney’s way too conservative for NY.
