Just curious to see where most of us are from - I'll bet most of us are from Victoria and NSW, but I could be wrong...

I live about 10 or so mins from Leah in The Patch, Vic. Good ol' Dandenongs.

However I am originally from Penrith, NSW and as such can correctly pronounce Newcastle etc :P

A bit like how the locals in Reservoir pronounce it differently to most other people? Everyone else seems to pronounce it like they're french, lol

Hehehe, interesting, Victoria seems to have taken an early lead, with nobody so far admitting to living in either the Northern Territory (Crikey, maybe they're too busy with the Crocs) or Tasmania (hmm, I'll let someone else comment on this one, hehehe)...
