Its language use not just accent, so a Victorian would say a bag, a Queenslander would say a port.

I'm an almost life long QLDer and 'a port' to me would mean a fortified wine...

Or where the boats come in

@noorbeast

Port? Use of "port" to denote a bag, suitcase, or other "carry all"?

Only octogenarians use "port" in this manner...
