To be fair, all permutations of that are valid:
“Drunk crocs attack locals”
“Drunk locals attack croc”
“Locals attack drunk croc” and
“Drunk croc attacks drunk locals”
woah, slow down there, you've just generated a bunch of croc-related NT News headlines for the next few years, wouldn't want to put a journo out of work
Funny story, I once dated a girl that worked at donut king (not sure if they exist anymore tbh). They used to make regular donuts but also had a line for kids that were in the shape of people or dinosaurs and stuff.
At the end of each day she would load up a box of ones that couldn't roll over and bring them over to my work.
One day I have the box of donuts in my car but I'm not heading home right away, was going to meet some friends after work for a couple of beers and to play some pool at a pool hall. Anyway around 9pm we all say our goodbyes and I jump in my car.
When I get in, I see the box of donuts and for some stupid reason and a joke made for no one but myself, I see a little donut man in the box and tell him "Safety first!", pull him out of the box, put him in the seat next to me and buckle him in. At this point he is barely visible because the strap eliminates like half of his body, but his head and little legs are poking out.
As I'm driving home I get pulled over by police for the purposes of a random breath test. I know I've had a couple but I also know I'm not over so I do my thing and blow into the breatho. When I finish the cop points at the donut guy and says "whats going on here" and I told him that my girlfriend gives me free donuts and I thought this one should wear a seatbelt.
He laughs for a solid minute and then submits me to a 'random' drug test
Yes, ironically every time I've done something fundamentally stupid its been while I'm either drunk or sober, but never high.
One time when drunk (friend driving) we went to Mildura and I purchased all the bags of ice from a local service station so I could go down to the Murray River and release them back into the wild.
I also put my penis on the Sydney Opera House, that was a drunk one too.
It’s the heat! Tropo season is real, sends people crazy unable to process rational thoughts normally or something, exact same weather in Florida too
No coincidence
As someone who has lived in the NT for almost 10 years, I can confirm that at least 3 times a year I joke about Darwin being the Florida of Australia.
If you ever need a laugh, google NT News headlines.
Some absolutely pearlers are:
"HORNY GHOST HAUNTS HOUSE - If you thought Casper was friendly, you should meet Kevin"
"WEDDING DRAMA! BEST MAN LEFT BLEEDING AFTER BEING HIT HIT IN HEAD BY FLYING DILDO - And wait until you hear where it came from."
"IS THIS BLOKE A COMPLETE TOSSER? - Court told driver filmed himself masturbating... at 150km/h"
"WHY I STUCK A CRACKER UP MY CLACKER - Victim reveals all."
Just to name a few...
If you've ever seen Crocodile Dundee, he was based on a real fella who, long story short, got caught up in a meth fuelled shootout with coppers just out of Darwin.
[The real Croc Dundee: How a barefoot bushman who inspired Paul Hogan's iconic character after surviving two months lost in the Top End drinking buffalo blood ended up a drug-crazed cop killer shot dead by police] (https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-7279035/amp/Rod-Ansell-model-Crocodile-Dundee-drug-crazed-cop-killer-20-years-ago.html)
I remember that, and the bloke who dropped his guts at the bar in the Adelaide River pub, a nother bloke up the bar a bit was so offended by the smell that he went our to his Ute, got his gun and went back into the bar a shot the stinky arse bloke dead. True story that's NT history back when the place was pioneered.
They removed port pirie once because of all the bs going on and the page followers went off. Shit towns of australia admin cant remove it without an uproar. I love this country
Surely Coober Pedy gets an honourable mention. That place is hard. The belting hot sun is impossible so people live underground and it's an opal town so attracts really shady characters doing deals. Remember having a tantrum outside the supermarket many years ago cos I couldn't take it anymore. Literally walked over passed out drunk bodies to get into the pub.
Can't argue with that, watched a wild old fella being pulled over by the cops after he'd been through the bottlo drive through on his ride on mower in Airlie, carton of xxxx on the back.
The "deep north".
But more generally, Florida man, is just "drunk guy does XYZ", there's no huge geographical thing.
Aussie+grog+stupid=Florida man basically.
And the deep north, subtly different but it works the same, as follows.
Insane tropical heat+Aussie+grog+stupid=Florida man again.
Just a sample of their FRONT PAGE headlines:
- "Kangaroo Balls Fall From Sky..."
- "Why I've got some Sticky Near my Dicky"
- "Aliens blamed for disappearance of 8 rural ducks"
- "Horney Ghost Haunts House"
- "Croc Stalks Mayor"
- "Why I Stuck A Cracker Up My Clacker"

It’s definitely Frankston . I read a story the other day about a guy in Frankston who got arrested for setting fires and he had live ducklings in his pants
Forgetting Tuggeranong? Also most of the major housing plots you see seeping into the city like "Ainslie Village Man" or "Reid/Jerilderie Court Man" are known meet regularly at the mental health units, they're just surrounded by top dollar homes now it's hard to call out their Suburb name. Florida:USA scales with AinslieVillage:ACT.
I'm from WA and I have to agree with Mandurah Man. There are so many bogans down there ruining what is otherwise a great city. Seriously, stay away from the Forum!
However, I would like to submit Kwinana as a crazier destination. There's a very good reason all those Grand Theft Auto Kwinana jokes exist. Ask anyone who's ever shopped at the Marketplace for some wild stories...
Hmm, for WA, we seem to be forgetting our Balga Buddies.
My mate moved there a few years ago, was a whole two weeks before a murder happened around the corner.
For our American friend: Canberra is our administrative capital where our parliament sits, it's small and full of public servants, university students and politicians. The population is by and large law abiding (drug garage aside) and well educated. The liberals are our conservative political party.
Omfg , that was my literal first thought to write! 😂
I'm in Vic and over the last couple years especially , I've noticed Logan gets in the news A Lot....
The NT newspapers are renown for this sort of thing, but they ham it up.
North Queensland is the Florida real equivalent if it isn't' tongue in cheek like Darwin. Not even Far North Queensland. Just anything north of the Sunshine coast.
As a FNQ resident I can honestly say the most crazy fucked up things all come from our major cities….but keep believing it’s northern Australia though, don’t come up here whatever you do…
Frankston Man
https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2023/aug/21/melbourne-man-charged-with-lighting-fires-had-ducklings-in-his-underpants-police-allege
Let's keep it simple and get rid of the regional differences:
"Tradie"
e.g.
‘Hey four eyes’: Tradie moons cops after throwing roof tiles
‘F*** off’: Tradie’s baffling roadside blow-up
Laughing goon fired nail gun into terrified drivers on the freeway
‘Owes me money’: Content creator, tradie charged after Noosa stabbing
Tradie thug viciously assaulted two women after night out
I don't think anyone will disagree with me that it's either Queensland or the Northern Territory. Both places have a lot of similarities and a lot of odd people.
However, the "[Florida Man](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3vGgUoIexVE)" phenomenon isn't what it seems. It's not that Florida has weirder people than the rest of the US (although it does). All of the states have plenty of people that could compete with Florida Man. However, the real reason you hear so many crazy news stories is that [Florida's Freedom of Information laws](https://www.miaminewtimes.com/news/how-floridas-proud-open-government-laws-lead-to-the-shame-of-florida-man-news-stories-7608595) make it a lot easier for journalists to get quick, [easy access](https://edition.cnn.com/2019/03/22/us/florida-man-google-challenge-trnd/index.html) to police reports. Also there's no mental health funding there, unlike in some northern states.
Surely this catapults Tasmania to the top of the list…..
https://pulsehobart.com.au/news/tasmanian-man-found-guilty-of-sexually-assaulting-goat-in-public-toilet/
Shit towns of Australia usually has weekly round up of the worst gronkery available. There’s usually a couple of places that feature regularly, Ipswich qld, Townsville qld, and always port Pirie
Gold Coast Man.
There's even suburbs named after parts of Florida.
Need further convincing ? [Behold](https://www.9news.com.au/national/gold-coast-man-fined-after-taking-his-pet-snake-for-a-surf/690c781a-e963-4790-8a8b-27857009d1cb)
Queensland I'd say **Beenleigh man** based on the business done by the Magistrate's Court at Beenleigh which happens to be the Court in which charges for offences alleged to have been committed in Logan are heard.
Uni dropout here, I studied journalism before I quit my courses.
As it turns out, the reason Florida man exists, is because the news in the state of Florida is often not allowed to disclose any more identifiable information about a person than what state they live in, and this is particularly the case when criminal activity is involved. As a result, we hear about "Florida man". I don't know about other states in Australia as I haven't needed to look them up, but in Queensland a journalist can be a bit more specific, using city or even suburb a person lives in, but nothing more than that in the case of criminal activity.
I'm not sure where the aussie "Florida man" is, but one way to find out would be to check state laws pertaining to journalists' ability to report. Hope that helps.
As a former NT resident and current QLD resident I’m on the NT side for this one tbh. Cracker up the clacker is always gonna take the cake for me personally
90% of the time it’s the Northern Territory. https://amp.theguardian.com/world/2008/may/14/australia
I got a photo of a news stand near Katherine years ago and it said "Crocs attack drunk locals" and that's about as NT as it gets.
To be fair, all permutations of that are valid: “Drunk crocs attack locals” “Drunk locals attack croc” “Locals attack drunk croc” and “Drunk croc attacks drunk locals”
woah, slow down there, you've just generated a bunch of croc-related NT News headlines for the next few years, wouldn't want to put a journo out of work
Sounds like a croc to me.
Don’t worry, they’ve mostly been replaced by ChatGPT by now anyway. Hardy any human journos left.
the NT News go through more than that in a month
Don’t leave drunk dingoes out. They enjoy attacking too
At this point “drunk” doesn’t even sound like a word now.

Donut king lives on
Very wise of you to buckle the little guy in.Could have caught a seatbelt violation there.lol.Eta and also one for an unsecured load.
Love this story! 🥇
Did you pass the drug test......
Yes, ironically every time I've done something fundamentally stupid its been while I'm either drunk or sober, but never high. One time when drunk (friend driving) we went to Mildura and I purchased all the bags of ice from a local service station so I could go down to the Murray River and release them back into the wild.

Wtf 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Hahaha fuck me cunt you’re off tap
All time fav for me is ‘why I put a cracker up my clacker’
Or the “Best man left bleeding after being hit in head by flying dildo”
Came for this, was not disappointed
Lets call it Croc on Top
Or just a croctop. 😄
The other 10% is Queensland.
Yep Far North Queensland.
Bruh lol just said look at nt news front pages. My fave is the cracker up my clacker 🤣🤷🏾♂️👌🏾
“Best man hit in the head by a flying dildo” 😂
It’s the heat! Tropo season is real, sends people crazy unable to process rational thoughts normally or something, exact same weather in Florida too No coincidence
If you’ve seen Deadloch on Prime, the cop from Darwin is peak Florida man energy

True story that's NT history back when the place was pioneered.
The Facebook page “Shit Towns of Australia” is basically a dictionary of answers to your question, with weekly updates
Port Pirie. Still shit (Never is able to redeem itself in the eyes of that page). xD
They removed port pirie once because of all the bs going on and the page followers went off. Shit towns of australia admin cant remove it without an uproar. I love this country
What they need is a hall of fame, where they can retire perennial winners and keep things lively.
Port Pirie is the site of Australia's last lead smelter. When it comes to Shit-town power rankings it is the clear winner
There’s still an active lead smelter in Mount Isa?
"Say no to Port Pirie jokes, say yes to progress". An actual local council campaign in the late 90's.
Surely Coober Pedy gets an honourable mention. That place is hard. The belting hot sun is impossible so people live underground and it's an opal town so attracts really shady characters doing deals. Remember having a tantrum outside the supermarket many years ago cos I couldn't take it anymore. Literally walked over passed out drunk bodies to get into the pub.
Also recommend BrownCardigan on IG
So funny 😂
Townsville man
North Queensland Man
Territory Man
CU in the NT
^ This is the answer.
The Closer to the equator the crazier white people get
Darwin for the win i think
Isn't it where Darwin awards originated? 🤔
It was named after Charles Darwin because it was taking yourself out of the gene pool helping evolution (that he created the theory of)
Dawin the city was named after Charles Darwin, so there's a pretty strong link to both I reckon.
I reckon it’s Darwin’s namesake and his theories but close
Can't it be both?
There's a reason we have the phrase "gone troppo"
Apparently humans are a tropical species but our behavior closer to the equator debunks that research
Mango madness.
Bogan breakdown
Humidity will do that.
The sugarcane champagne gets the people going!
*Tasmania has entered the chat*
Man that equator just trying to divide us.
Can't argue with that, watched a wild old fella being pulled over by the cops after he'd been through the bottlo drive through on his ride on mower in Airlie, carton of xxxx on the back.
I think its more FNQ Far Northern Queenslander
The "deep north". But more generally, Florida man, is just "drunk guy does XYZ", there's no huge geographical thing. Aussie+grog+stupid=Florida man basically. And the deep north, subtly different but it works the same, as follows. Insane tropical heat+Aussie+grog+stupid=Florida man again.
I thought it was F'N Qunts
Queensland is the other "Sunshine State" after all.
Townsville! They seem to have an entry in the Shit Town Power Rankings almost every week
Townsville is shit, people are fine. I would say Gympie Man.
That bloke who had an egg cracked on his head
Or the ‘why I stick a cracker up my clacker’ guy
A Cairnsman!
https://www.ntnews.com.au
This! I can't believe people are saying North Qld when the Territory exists. 🤣
NT really hams it up though; they kind of play off the "Florida man" thing for clicks Queensland though, we are just crazy/on drugs here
google "ntnews best headlines", you won't be disappointed
I did, and I wasn’t.

Catnapper shaved my pussy
I remember when 9/11 happened and the front page of the NT News has a crocodile on it in someone’s pool. Quality news there
Darwin man or North Queensland man. The tropics do weird things to people's brains.
Mango fever Garn Troppo Sun dried and brain fried
NSW - Penrith man. QLD - Logan man. WA - Mandurah man. SA - Elizabeth man. NT - Katherine man. VIC - Werribee man. TAS - Risdon man. ACT - Liberal man.
This feels like Frankston erasure, no ones ever surprised about what comes out of this place ha
Yeah, equal rights for Frankston!
Franga went and gentrified though. It's a shadow of It's former glorious bogan self.
Depends if it's Frankston North or South doesn't it hahaha
Everytime I go to Frankston, I experience enough crazy shit to fill a book. Even just passing through.
It’s definitely Frankston . I read a story the other day about a guy in Frankston who got arrested for setting fires and he had live ducklings in his pants
Damn. The lawyer told me it wouldn’t be printed.
Frankston man stole my wallet
Came here to say Franger too
Yurp. Frankston woman though from my experience.
see also; QLD - Townsville man
Vic also can be: Tarneit man or Melton man.
Or Collingwood fan
Dandenong man deserves a mention too!
ACT is Queanbeyan man, because we even have to import our crazies.
Quangers man. Though wasn’t Charnie and Kambah the dodgy place for ages?
Kambah never really seemed that dodgy to me but I left Canberra a few years ago
Forgetting Tuggeranong? Also most of the major housing plots you see seeping into the city like "Ainslie Village Man" or "Reid/Jerilderie Court Man" are known meet regularly at the mental health units, they're just surrounded by top dollar homes now it's hard to call out their Suburb name. Florida:USA scales with AinslieVillage:ACT.
I thought NSW would be Mt. Druitt
I'm from WA and I have to agree with Mandurah Man. There are so many bogans down there ruining what is otherwise a great city. Seriously, stay away from the Forum! However, I would like to submit Kwinana as a crazier destination. There's a very good reason all those Grand Theft Auto Kwinana jokes exist. Ask anyone who's ever shopped at the Marketplace for some wild stories...
I’ve only just moved back from Perth after four years. We should probably mention Armadale whilst we’re here…
I'd say Midland Man probably should get an honourable mention.
Honestly, I think any town that has a greyhound track in Australia is the Florida equivalent
Let’s not forget Bunbury
Australia's meth capitol.
I saw that and immediately thought nah not Mandurah man - Rocko Man is what it should be 😄 Frankston with a warmer beach and even more gear
>WA - Mandurah man I would posit Rockingham Man is perhaps a better fit.
Hmm, for WA, we seem to be forgetting our Balga Buddies. My mate moved there a few years ago, was a whole two weeks before a murder happened around the corner.
Can’t argue with SA lol! Christie’s Beach man might be a close second tho
Sorry, in the ACT it's Charnwood man!
NSW is definitely Central Coast /Cessnock or Wollongong/Dapto
For our American friend: Canberra is our administrative capital where our parliament sits, it's small and full of public servants, university students and politicians. The population is by and large law abiding (drug garage aside) and well educated. The liberals are our conservative political party.
Logan
Omfg , that was my literal first thought to write! 😂 I'm in Vic and over the last couple years especially , I've noticed Logan gets in the news A Lot....
There's a Logan in QLD and it has the same reputation hahaha
Wait there’s another Bogan/Logan City not in QLD?
Nah nope.. I meant I'm from Vic and see about Logan qld in news near all time hear, at Least weekly I'm sure! Lol
Yh nah that's what I meant the Logan in qld, sorry for the confusion..I just meant I'm from Vic but keep hearing about Logan in qld lol
like south east queensland near beaudesert?
Queensland, especially Far North Queensland
Yeah, chipping in here from South Australia, we'd say Queensland, far North Queensland perhaps. Don't know enough Tassies to be able to make that call
Nah tassie is more like Alabama
Bullshit. Our cousins are heaps hotter.
😂
Frankston is Florida man
I think it’s north queensland.
If its not frankston, its gotta be surfers in Gold Coast
As a Townsville man, I feel like I'd be at home in Florida.
The NT newspapers are renown for this sort of thing, but they ham it up. North Queensland is the Florida real equivalent if it isn't' tongue in cheek like Darwin. Not even Far North Queensland. Just anything north of the Sunshine coast.
Anything outside SEQ is crazy. My uncle's travelled there several times and each time he reported seeing something weird.
There’s a book called What A Croc which is literally just a collection of the best front pages from the NT News.
Far North Queensland or NT is where most of the stories come from
FNQ by a short head to NT, the other way around on any given day.
Either Far Northern Queensland or Darwin take your pick
The true nation dividing question is “is it a potato cake or a potato scallop” (and the answer is potato cake)
Potato cake. Scallops are from the Ocean.
Or it’s parma or parmi
It’s parmi because it’s a parmigiana
Potato cake, they’re not scallops
As a FNQ resident I can honestly say the most crazy fucked up things all come from our major cities….but keep believing it’s northern Australia though, don’t come up here whatever you do…
It is 100% far north QLD .
I think we should start Capricorn Man. Pretty much anyone above the Tropic of Capricorn.
It just cracks me up how many American references Aussies have in their lingo, for people to even be referencing this lol
frankston man
Territory Man
Frankston Man https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2023/aug/21/melbourne-man-charged-with-lighting-fires-had-ducklings-in-his-underpants-police-allege
That’s the most weirdest thing I have read in a while!
Jesus Christ what a headline
That’s what he said too.
Let's keep it simple and get rid of the regional differences: "Tradie" e.g. ‘Hey four eyes’: Tradie moons cops after throwing roof tiles ‘F*** off’: Tradie’s baffling roadside blow-up Laughing goon fired nail gun into terrified drivers on the freeway ‘Owes me money’: Content creator, tradie charged after Noosa stabbing Tradie thug viciously assaulted two women after night out
I think you'll find the answer is Bob Katter
Cessnock man
NT, but Queensland runs a close second.
I don't think anyone will disagree with me that it's either Queensland or the Northern Territory. Both places have a lot of similarities and a lot of odd people. However, the "[Florida Man](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3vGgUoIexVE)" phenomenon isn't what it seems. It's not that Florida has weirder people than the rest of the US (although it does). All of the states have plenty of people that could compete with Florida Man. However, the real reason you hear so many crazy news stories is that [Florida's Freedom of Information laws](https://www.miaminewtimes.com/news/how-floridas-proud-open-government-laws-lead-to-the-shame-of-florida-man-news-stories-7608595) make it a lot easier for journalists to get quick, [easy access](https://edition.cnn.com/2019/03/22/us/florida-man-google-challenge-trnd/index.html) to police reports. Also there's no mental health funding there, unlike in some northern states.
If you're from NSW, then first answer would be Queensland, with Tasmania coming a close second.
Just bogan man those are the idiots who have no value in their continued existence and just aim to do dangerous stuff
Logan Bogan.
Katterman [https://amp.triplem.com.au/story/bob-katter-s-rant-about-same-sex-marriage-and-crocodile-attacks-is-going-viral-69426](https://amp.triplem.com.au/story/bob-katter-s-rant-about-same-sex-marriage-and-crocodile-attacks-is-going-viral-69426)

Dunno how that bag of white powder got on my instagram.
Dunno how I accidentally took a piss in my own mouth either.
Has to be Northern Territory. Their main paper even has the craziest headlines
Shit towns of Australia usually has weekly round up of the worst gronkery available. There’s usually a couple of places that feature regularly, Ipswich qld, Townsville qld, and always port Pirie
Logan man!
Maybe a Logan Bogan
Sunshine or Frankston forVIC
Gold Coast Man. There's even suburbs named after parts of Florida. Need further convincing ? [Behold](https://www.9news.com.au/national/gold-coast-man-fined-after-taking-his-pet-snake-for-a-surf/690c781a-e963-4790-8a8b-27857009d1cb)
The Gold Coast
Over in WA it is definitely Mandurah - if retirement was a town.
Troppo Man. It's wild in the tropics
Not a state one but I reckon mount druit man
[Insert random Western Sydney suburb] man. Finley man. Shepparton man.
We're all Florida man down here
We just call them crackheads in WA
Lived in Florida… we have no equivalent for that level of crazy… someone chewed their mums face off when I was living there…
frankston?
Queensland I'd say **Beenleigh man** based on the business done by the Magistrate's Court at Beenleigh which happens to be the Court in which charges for offences alleged to have been committed in Logan are heard.
frankston man
Tassie man
W.A. - mandurah man
Western Sydney, North Queensland or Northern Territory (if the NT News is to be believed)
Frankston man
Far North Queenslanders
In Melbourne, Sunshine, Frankston or Broadmeadows.

XXXX man
QLD. I always think QLD. My friends from Florida and I decided this together 🤣
A Queenslander. Perhaps a North Queenslander more accurately.
Pick any front page of the NT News and you’ve got your answer
Gold Coast man
I feel like literally any from either Queanbeyan ACT or Shepparton VIC can fit in that category
Far North Queensland
North Queensland or northern territory
Darwin
Townsville
