Bulimba Mum

A Bulimba Mum, or as the north side of Brisbane calls them, New Farm Mum, is a mother who naturally marries a young man, bound to be successful. These mother's drive range rovers, give their children posh names and send them to either Somerville House of The Anglican Church Grammar School (Churchie). The name "Bulimba" comes from the south side suburb of Bulimba, in Brisbane, Queensland, Australia. The suburb is believed to be the wealthiest in the south side, and hence, is associated with these wealthy mothers. Although these mothers are thought to be privileged, the public perception on them is slowly changing to one of respect. Many believe these mothers are solely responsible for creating and raising the elite and aristocracy of Australia, and therefore, are responsible for creating the bright future Australia is bound to have. A Bulimba Mum is an insult and a compliment at the same time.
