3. A terrace is a street. That's just an Adelaide thing, I think.
5. That's a power pole made out of the old train rails.
1. Pram
2. Sparrow
3. A row of houses sharing a wall
4. Peanut Butter? Kind of hard to tell
5. Power pole
If any of these answers differ from that of a South Australians, it must therefore be associated with their own simplemindedness ;)
1. Pram/pusher/stroller/device for safe and comfortable transport of one (or more) infants.
2. Bird. A sparrow?
3. Terrace? Well, they plant rice in them, some gardens are landscaped this way, they live in them at the uni, some streets pretending to be classy are named after them(there's one off Edwards Road)...
4. A device for the safe and effective connection of power and phone lines across most of the country. Sometimes called a power pole, and for some bizarre reason some weirdos like the word 'stobie' for them (which really is a nonsense word).
It's great that you have such a sense of place and grounding in where you come from. But I also can't understand why you are so hung up about the South Australia vs Victoria thing- is it so important one may be better than the other? Why do we need to view that which is different to us as threatening?
It's funny to a point, but after that I think that you need to examine the motivations behind some of the statements you make.
Please know that this is not an attack, but a challenge to make you think about your values and beliefs about others.
I don't think she's all that serious about it.
I think this is probably how the conversation went resulting in Federation :P
