Queensland is the most northerly state on the eastern Australian coast. Natives of Queensland are commonly known as Queenslanders and generally regarded by other eastern Australian states as 'so laid back as to be
retarded'. For some Aussies there's a competition on which eastern state is the best (Tasmania doesn't seem to count) and all three remaining states laugh at the A.C.T. when they try get involved. Victorians and New South Welshmen
will argue over Sydney and
Melbourne, no doubt going on about it until you'
re REALLY wishing to get run over so you don't have to listen to them anymore, but they'll rarely point out anything else about their states as good.
Queenslanders, if they respond to the argument at all (alright, we really are laid back, or trying not to piss themselves laughing),
will say: "Gold Coast, Sunshine Coast, Dreamworld, WetNWild, Movie World, Seaworld, you know, most of the theme parks? The Barrier Reef, Cairns and beaches filled with the tourists you wish you had.
Oh, and you can have your bloody grandparents,
parents, aunts, uncles and cousins back."
In the Queenlander's mind, the argument is then settled and generously allows the others to continue arguing until they'
re bored of listening.
Queensland's state capitol is Brisbane, situated on Moreton Bay. It is a quiet city, but given it has the Gold and
Sunshine Coasts are nearby for relaxation, entertainment and glorious beaches, who needs to
party at home?
