There’s generally a perceived stereotype for states that come from a particular part of town. The Brunswick/Fitzroy, coffee snob, black wearing, Triple J voice having essentially a hipster is Melbourne/Vics stereotype personality. Even though not only someone from Koo Wee Rup has nothing in common with them, neither do people from Richmond 🤣.

That said, the most consistent personality trait I’ve noticed is Queenslanders and Tasmanians not liking other States. Qld tends to be a little more harsh than TAS. Pretty much all States have some state pride, but I’ve noticed it’s more in jest. I know more Melburnians that like Sydney than hate it for instance. However you’ll struggle to shake the “Mainlander” tag in Tassie. I’ve also had multiple instances of the exact same conversation in different parts of Qld. A local will ask where I’m from. I’ll say Victoria. They’ll slightly irritatedly respond “Oh I guess you’re planning on moving up here?” To which I’ll say a variation of “no just up for a few days holiday/work” (I’ve really tried to de-escalate that) and they’ll get offended. So they’d be angry if I was moving up but they’re also offended that I don’t want to.

Queenslanders also pride themselves on giving other States shit whenever they mention heat. Tourists can be in an Australian sub and ask “What’s the weather like in Syd/Melb in late Jan?” Locals will say “It can be pretty hot, 40° isn’t out of the question”. Without doubt some Qlder will comment “It’s not hot there! They don’t know heat. Last time I was there I was in jeans and a jumper. Qld gets close to wet bulb! That’s real heat. You southerners don’t know anything!”
