Nothing could be further from the truth, as we practically carry certain aspects that identify which state we are from — like someone from Melbourne, for example.

2. You can out-party anybody because you have mastered the nightlife along the Laneways.
3. You ask when the Big Day Out is.
4. You own countless Dejour jeans.
5. You have thought of popping the question to your girlfriend via the Moving Image at Fed Square.
6. You consider Melbourne as a haven for aspiring writers.
7. You immediately say “Yes!” to any volunteer work.
8. You head out to the parks on a sunny day.
