gemfyreYou might be from Western Australia if...
- You had a plush Sunny Sandgroper when you were a kid.
- You know all the words to the "G'Day from W.A." jingle. (My cousin and I even recorded us singing it when we were kids!)
- It's quite possible for your neighbour to live 500km away.
- You live in Perth, and the next capital city is over 2000km away, and you think nothing of driving there once a year.
- You're constantly campaigning or protesting to save some area of rare and natural beauty from companies that just want to mine or commercialise it.
- You can go to beach, find a nice big spot to sit, and not have to worry too much about syringes and sewerage.
- You scoff at pie floaters and frog cakes.
- You scoff at the VFL and almost kill your spouse over the Derby outcome.
- In a day trip you can go surfing, climb a 60m tall tree, visit 4 caves and get drunk on local wines.
- People ask if you've been overseas and you reply "I've been to Rottnest, does that count?"
- You can drive 100km and find absolute wilderness.
- If you live any further than Lancelin, bulldust is just a part of life.
- You get used to your compass going haywire in the Newman area (all that iron ore!)
- Half your elderly male citizens are dying from mesothilioma after working at Wittenoom in the asbestos mines.
Can anyone think of some others. Maybe something a tad more funny or witty than mine.
