The modern Aussie is a townie through and through. Australia is the least densely populated country on earth; it is also among the most highly urbanised.

In the 1940′s, a social survey of Victorian country towns found a similar gap between the interests and outlooks of farmers and townies, and an underlying fear on the part of the townsfolk.

In that sense, the townies, not the farmers, were the inheritors of a pioneer capacity for hard work.

Earlier, there would probably have been a grudge match between two townies, or locals.
