I've met many Australians, and have not experienced what you describe. If anything, coffee culture is a Melbourne thing, with Brisbane being en par. I have not heard of, say, Perth being especially known for their association with coffee drinking.
As far as I know, it is thanks to immigrants from Italy that an admittedly good and wide-spread coffee culture has established in Melbourne, but I never felt that it stood out in how Australians perceive themselves.

Not Perth (the capital city) no .. but definitely Northbridge (suburb slightly north of the city centre) and Fremantle (port | harbour 'city' down river from Perth) beacuse they've been Italian strongholds for decades. Both were known for coffee in the early 1980s.
- nmfisher 3y agoIronically, I think Perth has better coffee on average than Melbourne.
- quickthrower2 3y agoSydney has coffee culture both in the city and in the burb. There be brick walls, long queues, single Os, beards, baggy clothes, Timemore scales and hairbuns closer to you than a rat in London. In addition to hipsterism there is ubiquity: baristas in petrol stations, swimming pools, dog parks, the beach, the pub, everywhere!
