I have family in the Perth WA area. They seem to speak more about Aussie rules than anything else. I have also learned that Outback Steakhouse does not exist in Austrailia, nobody drinks Fosters beer (although I have a Carlton Cold in my refrigerator right now), everything is abbreviated with a "y" at the end (like telly for television) and coozies (beer can/bottle coolers) are called stubby coolers.
