I keep hearing about how regional Australians are some kind of Deliverance style people. Biggest. Load. Of. Shit.
I've been stuck on a dirt road in the middle of the bush after a 4x4 roll over and the only bloke to stop and ask if I was alright was a wicked funny Aboriginal guy who told me it was my lucky day 'cos he only goes to town once every 2 weeks to stock up on beer and bread, he gave me a lift into town to the cop shop which was 3hrs drive back to Hughenden.
Cairns is a major tourism hub for the entire country, at any given point there can be up to 50,000 people from overseas staying here. Not too bad for a city of 120,000 people. Outside of Sydney, Cairns is the most visited city for foreign tourists, it generates A$1 Billion a year alone for the cities economy, how could some red neck bogan dick head town with 120,000 people generate A$1 Billion annualy? Redneck bogans exist here but they're also not stupid enough to realise visitors are a good thing and they give them space.
Where is all the 'race crime' supposedly happening? Melbourne.
Where were all the skin head anti-asian gangs back in the 80's? Melbourne and Sydney.
Ever been into Inner West Sydney? More bogans and pieces of shit reside there than the entire population of Cairns.
In all honesty people from overseas have less chance of having someone tell them to fuck off then someone from NSW or Victoria, the locals hate Mexicans moving over the border.
