Don't worry about it Jack. Sydneysiders and Melbournians take it for granted that they're the centre of the Oz universe, while sandgropers and croweaters (Perth and Adelaide, respectively) acknowledge there's no point even trying to compete with such attitude. And everyone forgets Hobart; the whole state drops off many maps!

But bananabenders (Brisbane, especially) seem to believe that there ought to be an automatic acknowledgement that they're "here", so to speak, and they get a bit twitchy when they feel that acknowledgement hasn't been given.

And, yeah! While there are big mugs everywhere, those for drinking coffee in Oz are much smaller than the routine in the US. If you used a US mug to drink Oz coffee you'd likely be spaced out for a few days.
