G'day Seattle, Cobbias on the Cobblestone? ☕️
So, you're curious about how many convicts (affectionate term, our British overlords would be chuffed) have swapped the outback for the emerald embrace of Seattle?

The Great Aussie Invasion: Myth or Mate-rial?
There's no official count of how many Aussies have set up camp in Seattle, unlikeVegemite * (pronounced "Vege-might" not "Vege-myte")* jars, which are probably meticulously tracked somewhere.

Tip: Focus more on ideas, less on words.
Here's your handy guide:
