I was born in Warrnambool, Victoria.
I left there when I was 11 and went to high school on the Sunshine Coast, Qld.
I live in Brisbane and have done so since I started university.
I call myself a Victorian and call Brisbane home.

Manly, NSW

Where did you grow up?
Forest district/Northern beaches of Sydney.

Where do you live now?
Perth

Where do you call home?
Still refer to Sydney's Northern beaches as home even though I've lived in Perth for just over 6 years now.
After spending some time over Christmas staying at Mum and Dads place just near the beach at Dee Why, I could happily see myself moving back to the area in the future. Not that I will be able to afford it mind you.

Some people appear to go nowhere or eventually come home. Where you were born and grow up is circumstance.

Probably needs a question, how many different cities/towns have you lived in. Titty, I would count living in the East as a different city:lol:

A guy who ran our Perth office made both his sons leave for at least a year after Uni. 10 years later, one came back, one never did.

I have only lived in 2 towns, but the nature of FIFO work, means I have "lived" in the following towns:
Bendigo
Sydney
Mackay

Perth

Kuantan, Malaysia

Still happy to be living were I am.

Where were you born? Port Moresby, PNG
Where did you grow up? Melbourne, Brisbane, Wodonga, Singleton, Canberra. When people ask it's easier just to say Canberra, spent the most time there :)
Where do you live now? Near Launceston, Tasmania
Where do you call home? Kinda depends. Mostly, Tasmania. But if talking about rugby league, Queensland - have been a Broncos/QLD supporter since 1988. Also, still have a fair bit of history in Canberra too. Got family in both places.
