Where the hell is everyone from?

I'm in Albury at the moment, although I'm still paying rent in Wagga...

What about the rest (suburbs as well... we need amunition).


Edit: By the way, with a bit of effort we could make this the biggest of the Geography-based forums at the TFP... we can talk way more shit than the seppos.

Im from The Blue Mountains, on the outskirts of Sydney. Im currently paying rent at Warrimoo. I was living in Penrith (pronounced Perif) about 6 months ago, and it was pretty ordinary (except my proximity to the kebab shops).

Meridae'n

The thing with saying you're from Melb east is that it can mean anywhere from Richmond to Frankston to Dandenong

Seems to be heavy on the mexicans here... i thought i recognised that smell.

Go ahead, have a go at us. At least we're not Colac or Ballarat .

Weren't you originally a seppo?

frozenstellar

hehe, another from geelong. i was born there, and lived up until start of 2004.

have they removed those ring road signs yet? fuck i'm sick of lookin at that dudes scrunched up mug everytime i come down.

Latch

You stalking me?

Yeah, I am.. I'm sure you'll find that out at the meet-up, as I haven't lost a lot of my accent (to Aussies.. to other Yanks I sound as Australian as ... Steve Irwin!)





hahahaha. We just "won" the ring road yesterday.. so I imagine the signs are still up. It's a running joke w/ mates (as I work at Deakin Waterfront and live in Highton) to do that stupid face and say "What's the Hold Up?" when we're stuck in traffic at peak hour. It *is* pretty shit though

Ella

I'm a born and bred Melbourne gal (Box Hill)...moved inner city and did the St Kilda thing until a move to Tassie in '94, then QLD in '97 where I still am - inland from BrisVegas. Gettin' itchy feet again and the Northern New South Wales coast is looking mighty fine!

I'm about three minutes' drive from Box Hill (see Ella's post) so I'd say that's pretty typical Eastern suburbs

User Name

I live in the US, and I couldn't help but notice that most Australians (at least on the TFP) are from either Sydney or Melbourne and their suburbs. This would be akin to most Americans living around New York City and Los Angeles. I guess that it's because in Australia, most of the remaining land is uninhabitable, at least on a mass scale (desert, rainforest, etc.) Am I correct?

Stick

Western Sydney. I'm covered in tattoos and wear flannies, but at least I haven't got a mullet!

User Name,

thats a fair assumption.

the VAST majority of Australians live within 40kms of the coast, and by that i mean the coast around the bottom half of Australia.

Huge chunks of the interior ('outback') are deserts and uninhabitable regions such as the Tanami, the Simpson, the Great Sandy Desert and the Nullarbor. these places are pretty much uninhabited, not entirely though.

and other places are, like you said, heavily rainforested and too wild for large settlements such as Cape York (far north) and the Gulf region.

altogether, its a harsh, unforgiving land away from the coast.

i also think another reason why you won't find too many Austalians from rural areas on the TFP is that they may not have adequate reliable internet access.

You'll find the best ones live 400kms from the coast...



Hmmm, not quite that bad these days though


The tattoos and flannies denote a definate Western Suburbs native, maybe Mt Druitt or Toongabbie... but no mullet? Well, that's a hard one... Greenacre?

I have got the regulation goatee, though!

My brother lives in Mungindi and he's given up on the net because it's slower than a government dept. out there.

Meridae'n

Mungindi, jesus! I lived in Garah for a bit (between Moree and Mungindi), although I usually just say Moree as Garah is a thriving metropolis of about 60 people...

One question: I have a choice of living with my brother in Wynnum, or with some mates in Spring Hill... what's better?

Hhhmm...beach or inner city. That's a hard one. I'd go for inner city - Spring Hill.

Rainwulf

woo someone finally.... im not the only brisbane to appreciate the tfp and its inherent coolness.

Rainwulf

do you like the city life? spring hill is pretty well on top of the cbd. wynnum is way out about half an hours drive from the city. also probably a lot cheaper as well.
