Having once lived in Nth Qld, I can associate with most of those observations. I’d like to add an extra one:

I’m in Townsville and those one liners are pretty spot on!!!

Sounds like WA in many respects!! Just add the following:
Its 9pm on any weekday and the only place to buy milk is the petrol station. – learn’t that the hard way!
Sunday beers need to be planned and bought on Saturday as most bottleshops cannot open on Sundays – learn’t that the hard way too!!
These are only some of the reasons why….we love it up here…..[cap]that could not be more spot on[tongue]
the heat is killing me today, and the air con never seems to get cold enough
Cheers Matt
