The whole of Western Australia is a mine site so it’s pretty much a sure thing for space junk to hit a mine site if it comes down anywhere in the half of Australia.
True, the GP comment is also playing the Queensland is all bannanas, Tasmanian's are all inbred, <insert stereo type> card here.
There are many mines in W.Australia, there's also highly productive grain growing agricultural land larger in size than the entire United Kingdom, similarly large areas of native title and defence training land, wine growing regions, etc.
