NSW by a long shot- the majority of classic Australian poems and folk songs were based in NSW, such as 'nine/five miles from Gundagai', 'Lachlan Tigers' etc. Not to mention all the bushranger activity and the fact that Captain Cook's fleet civilised this part of Australia before anywhere else.
Yeah I would agree. A cold, wet, rural island situated in the Roaring Forties is not what most I would equate to being quintessentially Australian.
Cold, wet winters (by our standards) ARE the reality for most rural Australians though. The average outback NSW climate looks something like Cowra or Temora- winters that are cloudier than Hobart's. Where I live in Corryong, is heaps cloudier than Hobart in winter and also colder.

Imagine thinking most Aussies living in wastelands have harsher winters than Hobart *clown emoji*. You know most of the rural population of Australia is in NSW or QLD right?, 20C winters

Wrong ! going by population, the largest inland towns and cities are actually the colder ones e.g. Ballarat, Bendigo, Albury, Wagga, Bathurst, Orange, Armidale... plus all have colder winters than Hobart. Albury is much cloudier than Hobart in the winter, as is Wagga when accounting for latitude. Ballarat is substantially cloudier than Hobart in the winter - nearest sun hours are at Hamilton and Eildon. As you can see, Hobart is unusually sunny for the latitude when various mainland Australian sites are so easily eclipsing it.
But by all means, keep believing that the average NSW outback town has 20 C winters

Elevation plays a huge part in it, having a look at it, Hobart (Sea level station) looks about the same as Armindale NSW during the winter, which basically half way betwen Brisbane and Sydney however its also 1000m above sea level.
Tooowoomba QLD (700m above sea level) is the biggest "Inland Town" in Austraila, and it hovers around a 16 max average during the winter.

Well duhhh...but they exist. That's all that matters.
Elevation is real. It's not some kind of magical entity.
Plus you will never be able to 'tell' you're at elevation in most of these towns...surrounding country at say Oberon, is mostly flat open pastures. They're not "mountains" like some would have you believe...everyone goes on about their everyday lives, REAL Australians whose experiences do matter, despite what the forum's urban elitists would have you believe.
