I live in Melbourne - Australia's "Boston" vs. the "LA" of Sydney. Sox lives on the north coast of New South Wales and Victoria is the next state south ... so I'm "south of the border".
New South Welshmen like to think they live in the most important State compared to us Victorians - kinda like the US vs. Mexico. So my use of "Mexico" acknowledges I'm south of his border. :-))
And, yes, a calls me a "wetback".

Andy
PS: In terms of the sea level rising 1cm a year - the earth has long, long cycles of that sort of thing. Around 10,0000 years ago, Australian Aborigines were able to walk from the mainland to the island of Tasmania.
So the sea level must've been 300' lower than it is today. Some time after that, the sea rose to the level it is now and they became isolated.
