Thank you so much James! 🤣🤣🤣 That's hilarious!! Listening to that is indeed a fantastic start to the weekend!
I was brought up in Cairns, though I do have family spread out over the east coast of Australia. I am convinced that the more north you venture from Melbourne, the more difference there is in local culture. I mean, the difference in the local culture between Melbourne/Sydney and Darwin or even Cairns is so stark, that you may as well be travelling to different countries!
Locals in far north QLD don't hesitate to go to the shops bare-footed or, if you're a male, without a shirt on. Whereas, there is a much more conservative, somewhat formal dress code expected in Melbourne or Sydney. Things are so much more laid-back up north. Even the accents and Aussie slang is different. To get a crocodile for payment is such a far north QLD/Darwin thing! I'm not saying that it is common! It is most definitely not common for that to happen, but that kind of thinking is more common than what people may realise.
When I was 17, I went busking with a friend of mine in the town centre of Cairns. We had my friend's instrument case open while we were performing, so people could throw some money in. Someone put a fresh bunch of shallots in the case and someone else put a massive slice of delicious mud cake in there! So random!
