What is the nickname for Queenslanders

Sandgrouper is the name for West Australians and for the life of me I can't think of the name for Queenslanders.

 

[Dea VIP Darwin]

[Brenda Driver VIP Perth]

Well south eastern States of oz are called Mexican's I would say Queenslanders are northerners to be politically correct

 

[Goodstuff36 Bon truc in french]

Go marones

 

[Pluck a Duck]

WA = Bogans with class
Queensland = Bogans

 

[Mopar63]

I'd say banana bender's, is a safe bet if self preservation is something you aspire to. Bogan's i think are a national affliction, and not confined to a particular state.

Mexicans

Mexicans

Sydney blues are known as Mexicans but there is another name for Vic's and it's something to do with Airel ping pong.

People in NSW also nickname Victorians as Mexicans as they live 'South of the border'. Were also called Dirty Mexicans by Sydneysiders during the Victoria COVID lockdown.

 

[Vineta Sexting]

Kanakas

 

[Sally]

Bananalander and Banana bender
both with obvious connections to the banana industry in Queensland.

Why Sandgrouper?

Sandgroper is the nickname given to West Australians, presumably stemming from the fact that there is so much sand over here.

 

[Amelia Sophia]

Nicknamed the Sunshine State for its tropical and sub-tropical climates, Great Barrier Reef and numerous beaches.

Sydney blues are known as Mexicans but there is another name for Vic's and it's something to do with Airel ping pong.

Yes airel ping pong refers to Aussie Rules by N.S.Wers particularly from those that follow Rugby League and Rugby Union.

 

[Luckypete 08]

Queenslanders are called Cane Toads by NSW especially when State of Origin football comes around.
Also banana benders is the older nickname and Vics are Mexicans as mentioned on here before
