The scariest part about pretty much every Australian town/city outside of Sydney/Melbourne
is that telling them you're from somewhere else gets a response of 'What's wrong with (this town)?' and you won't be able to explain that you just happened to be born somewhere else.

To be honest, no matter where I am in the world
If I get caught somewhere I am not supposed to be, I apologise and explain that I am Tasmanian and was just trying to find a way to get out.
Works every time.
