1. Your first best friend was probably your pet.
2. And if you lived on a property, you sat in the driver's seat of a car at an early age.
3. You had to become used to getting up way too early to catch the bus to school.
4. And there was always going to be someone in your year that sported a mullet.
5. Summer was always ridiculously hot...
6. ... and winter was always freezing cold.
7. Doing "Cross Country" at school seriously meant you were running out in the bushland somewhere.
8. And your swimming carnival was held at the sole "local" pool that probably boasted two pools maximum.
9. Most kids were definitely raised playing a sport of some kind.
10. And any day excursions involved going to whatever local national park was nearby.
11. At best, there was only one cinema in "town".
12. And in all honesty, there was just not a lot of ~fun~ things to do.
13. But you did become really good at making up your own outdoor activities.
14. Underage drinking in a park was definitely a thing most teens participated in.
15. Until everyone turned 18 of course, where you had two exciting pub options to choose from.
16. You definitely owned a flanno and uggs long before they ever became a fashion "trend".
17. It was easy to get very overwhelmed when you visited any cities that had a population higher than 50,000.
18. And even if you live in a big city now, you always love going back to your little country town.
