These Info-Packed Videos Of The Australian States And Territories
Tell It All




A concise and down to earth Aussie view on our Australian States and Territories.

You can get all the information you need by watching the videos on every state and territory too.

We've moved around a lot in our lives and lived in a lot Australian States, kind of like that old song; "I've been everywhere man".

And when you move around you notice little differences, not only in the landscapes and the people but in other ways too.

I think there's a bit of larrikin in all of us, of course, and there's certain things that all Aussie's just know; like you can call Wagga Wagga (a city in New South Wales) Wagga but you can't call Woy Woy (a town in New South Wales) just Woy, because that would sound stupid!



You notice little differences in the way things are done and the names for certain things too; for instance in South Australia you call a roll of luncheon meat (sort of like boloney) Fritz, in Queensland it's just called Luncheon and in Victoria it's Devon.

There are also differences in the way people speak as well as the rivalries between certain states; like the rivalry between South Oz and Victoria over the Aussie Rules Footy, our beers and the Grand Prix (South Australians still think they stole it!)

The huge competiveness between the New South Wales Blues and the Queensland Maroons when the State of Origin Rugby League time of year comes around and we all dress up in our colours and cheer on our team (Go the Maroons!)

We all love the cricket, of course, and take great delight in beating the Poms (the English) in the Ashes Series; all uniting under a sea of Green and Gold mateship to watch our team bring the Ashes Urn home for us (of course the Poms try and stop us and sometimes they do!)

Everything you need is in our info packed videos on all the Australian States and Mainland Territories; just click on the links below.
