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?
Person: Why the hell if they're complaining about us, do so many bloody southernersmove up to Queensland? I mean if we're supposed to be so crap up here, GO HOME!
The most Australian place in Australia the last true remnant of Australiana. Where snobby nosedeuro wannabe, outsiders from the southern states fear to tread. Where XXXX is drunk and people are tough.
The most north-eastern state of Australia. Pretty women, even better looking backpackers. 100's of beutiful sunny islands including straddie (Stradbroke)
Captial city Brisbane (also known as brisvegas), home of XXXX beer, also the home of the bevan.
Known by the other states as the "different" state. Queenslanders don't take shit!
Queenslander was born of the festering hatred, resentment, jealousy and perceived injustice, done to them by New South WalesRugby League, through out history ,only those who have been crushed beneath a tyrannical oppressor's heel, can truly know this feeling.
Ah mate here we go a bloody βgain
The Blues are whinging and theyβre crying
It makes you flaming sick ya know
But itβs a trick we just ainβt buying.
They reckon they have rookies
Who will never make the grade
We know they never had a chance
No matter who they bloody played.
The time draws near, they start to shake
That self doubt will rise again
It will grow on their subconscious
And play havoc with their brain.
Take note how people that you work with
Start avoiding all your crew
Then you realise what is happening
Their skin is turning slimy blue.
Mate this is State Of Origin
Itβs a feeling you canβt hide
That tingling through your body
That unbending Queensland pride.
Your guts begin a churning
The sweat pours from your brow.
There is no sitting on the fence
Itβs time to take that Queensland vow.
And the Blues they just donβt get it
They canβt understand that pride
How we can love this state so much
Just how we feel deep down inside.
The battle lines are slowly drawn
You know just what I mean
You are either with us or against us
There is bugger all in between.
So bring it on you Roaches
Feel the hatred and the fear
The battle ground will run with blood
Then you will hear our victory cheer.
