You're kidding right? Centralians are better.

 

[snakeluvver]

Centralians just look like orange Easterns. They're cool, but I think Westerns are cooler because they have incredible orange and brown colours with amazing patterns that almost look like an aborigional painting.

 

[dihsmaj]

I've seen tons of pictures of Westerns and I used to want one so much, then after I got my Bluey I joined a Blue-tongue forum and saw some of the pics of people that have them, they're not THAT good.
