Port? Use of "port" to denote a bag, suitcase, or other "carry all"?
Only octogenarians use "port" in this manner...

I’m an almost life long QLDer and ‘a port’ to me would mean a fortified wine…

Yeah, the Victorian is telling me about Melbourne is the best place to get coffee and the Queenslander is trying to sell me magic mushrooms, at a good price tho.

Tax free miners getting rich of our resources. Our politicians getting fat jobs with them after finishing with government. Etc.
Easy to spot WA folk. They’re all slightly ashamed that they’re part of the reason we don’t have free hospitals, university and a higher standard of living.

Having my millionth conversation with a Victorian about South Australians calling “power poles” Stobey Poles. That’s because that’s what they are.

Thank you! I didn’t know what to call these since moving to Adelaide. They are everywhere!
