Darwin, Australia has the same tribar background as Kurume, Japan.  This is because they reside on the same meridian.  Both cities are a part of the 130th East.  What this means is that the majority of these inhabitants dream, sleep, and wake in unison.  It is especially for Australia whose culture puts great weight on the dream-time.  Likewise for Japan, where dreams are considered magical and special.
