When they were touring they felt this way.

Although some people associated Melbourne with Europe due to the cooler weather and greyer skies

Those tourists thought Queensland (Gold coast, Brisbane) and Perth (Western Australia) were what they expected Australia to be like.

Of course opera house and harbour bridge are the iconic symbols of Australia.

Like how London and Tokyo and Paris are the representatives of their country.

For USA I think new York is the state that represents the country??
Or is it California?

I would say it's accurate.
Melbourne is a lot colder than the rest of the northern cities. Hobart is perhaps the coldest capital here. Also, Melbourne has a lot of European-like culture, from memory and of when I visited a few times.
Queensland and Perth are a LOT more Aussie-like due to the heat and wildlife.
Sydney is basically our London and Paris.
However, with the way things are, you'd need to go out to the rural towns to get the "authentic" Australian experience. Cityfaggots are the most insufferable pussies you'll ever meet. If you want that "true blue, hardworking, old-fashioned, masculine" Aussie stereotype, your best bet is to go to the rural towns where the Australian culture is very much alive, unlike the cities where a lot of migrants and leftist cuck whipped faggots who hate the country and our culture (Americanised useful idiots, basically - normally Greens or Labor voters) take refuge. Cityfaggots love their soy lattes from expensive coffee shops.
Not only that, but the rural areas tend to have more desert-like biomes, which is what Australia is usually seen as overseas - a hot desert. It's a stereotype but it's accurate if you go rural.

I think the media industry is better in Melbourne, like Neighbours with Margot robbie was filmed there.

Home and away I think was filmed in NSW , not sure.

Also the adult Industry I think is also larger in Melbourne.

My curry friend said Queensland is the most conservative.

I live in Bathurst, so I'd say Bathurst is an example I'm aware of. Though the Bathurst populace is getting less and less "authentic Australian" each year with all the immigrants and Sydneysiders moving here for cheaper property.
Bendigo, Ballarat, Geelong are all great examples. I think Mildura, too?
Orange is similar to Bathurst.
Tamworth perhaps.
Armidale is probably one of my favourite rural towns in the country. I stayed there when on a roadtrip to Queensland with one of my best friends to visit our other best friend. Very beautiful town. I walked it early in the morning and loved every minute.

Not sure about this but that wouldn't surprise me at all. One of my favourite Aussie films was made in Melbourne. "The Castle" - can recommend.

Yeah, Queensland is very conservative. In the Voice to Parliament vote, they were the state that voted "No" the most. I think only 30% of people voted Yes there.
Also, One Nation (best party here) also started there so there's that.
