Whether you’re born and brought up in the Harbour City or moved here recently, there are some quirks that give Sydneysiders their unique edge. To put this to the test, we asked our Facebook audience to tell us they’re from Sydney without telling us they’re from Sydney. Needless to say, the response was very fun and creative and there were a LOT of hilarious quips about the traffic and the property prices. In case you missed the post, here are 30 of the finest responses to “Tell Me You’re From Sydney Without Telling Me You’re From Sydney”.
