It's the same in Australia,  the states of New South Wales and Queensland are rugby league strongholds while the rest of the States and the Northern Territory are Australian rules strongholds. a similar thing happens in the UK where Northern England has a strong rugby league background not found around the rest of the UK and cricket is played in sucessfull leagues in both Scotland and Wales but it is seen as an English pastime shown by the fact you play cricket for England sometimes it is simply the weather conditions that dictate the sports played other places like in the US and Australia colonization and immigration have made played a part. 

Yes it's called the Barassi Line. Traditionally rugby league was the most popular sport in New South Wales and Queensland while being niche in the rest of the country. Aussie rules is quite niche in New South Wales and Queensland but is the most popular sport in the rest of the country.

 

Are you in Aussie rules or rugby league territory?

Aussie rules I live in Tasmania. I was surprised you knew about the barrasi line you must be well informed or someone who likes tolookinto info presented to them.
