        T'othersiders is what I have read and.
See
http://slwa.wa.gov.au/federation/fed/018_toth.htm

where they quote from a letter in a Coolgardie paper of 1899

My ancestors were T'othersiders and first lobbed in Kal after coming over the 
Nullabour Plain.

Sorry ... should have proof-read that last one ... it should have said:

referring to those immigrating from THE EAST as [ 'thuther-siders ].

Maree, I am a little too old-fashioned for my own good. I still call
South Aussies
"Crow-Eaters; NSW-men 'Yellowtails'; Queenslanders 'Banana Benders';
Tasmanians
'Apple Islanders'. I cannot remember what we called Victorians in
polite company - - - -

I miss the Australiaisms of old, wonder how many West Australians
call themselves
sandgropers theses days :(
