The other day I was chatting with (he might argue "to") GarryWith2Rs, bemoaning the fact that I was running a bit thin on tidbits for the blog. He very helpfully spent the remainder of our conversation expounding on the benefits of the Northern Territory.
Interestingly, the NT has the only flag in Australia that doesn't include blue. Instead, it is black, white and ochre (browny orange).
I'll spare you the details of the NT, but thought you might like to know that, according to a devout local, "We're a lot more laid back here, we're a lot more multicultural, and we drink a lot." Also, apparently, they have crocodiles.

Qld also has crocodiles. WA probably does too but one tends not to hear about people being taken by one in WA.
A clarification on the flag and the lack of blue - that's the only 'state' flag (NT still doesn't have full statehood but that's another can of worms). The Aboriginal flag also doesn't have blue, it has red, black and yellow.
And apparently NT currently has 'full' emplyment whereas the other states don't; that's a flip from the historical norm.
She's right you know. Also, you forgot mention the sunsets and Asian food.
