What is your favorite province of Australia?

Niue.

Queenslanders are boorish; South Australians are boring. Matter of personal preference, really.

Do you mean Nauru?

Niue is a dependency of New Zealand in Polynesia (New Zealand took over those British colonies that didn't want independence, except for some reason Pitcairn.) Over half of Niue islanders actually live in New Zealand rather than on Niue these days. IIRC NZ's ethnic structure is something like 82% White, 10% Maori, 6% other Polynesian. (And the appropriate racial slur for a new arrival from Polynesia is "fob".)

Anyways, it's the wrong answer. The correct answer is "Australians, esp. Australians' habit of shagging sheep."

Yeah, I know that fob is supposed to mean Fresh off Boat.

Belgian jokes ... now these are pretty sick. I don't think I can tell most of them to an audience of minors. They're ...shall we say... Marc Dutroux inspired. (Plus they usually work with untranslatable puns...) They're certainly not a traditional staple of German joking though ... for that, look to East Germans ... or East Frisians ... or Poles.

Basically the Australian usage of "suburb" is more akin to what you'd call a "neighborhood" in a major American city.

Canberra - where is it, does it actually exist? I spend a whole of 36 hours there, and I couldn't find it. Hey, I couldn't even see it even from the air: is it a myth, or is it all underground, like the Parliament building, not to disturb the kangooroos ( )?

You're thinking of Coober Pedy.
