Been There – Sydney

Posted on

Starbucks Been There Sydney is a mug for the capital of New South Wales that was established as a British penal colony in 1788. It was named after Thomas Townshend, Lord Sydney, the British Home Secretary who authorized the colony’s establishment. Long before that, the area was home to the Gadigal people of the Eora Nation, whose connection to the land spans over 60,000 years. Today, remnants of this Indigenous heritage sit alongside colonial landmarks, modern architecture, and global influences. Sydney’s layered past shapes its identity as one of the world’s most iconic harbor cities.… Read more

Been There – Melbourne

Posted on

Been There – Melbourne is a mug for a city with a rich and dynamic history, founded in 1835 by free settlers from Tasmania on the traditional lands of the Wurundjeri people of the Kulin Nation. Melbourne quickly grew from a small settlement into a thriving metropolis, spurred by the Victorian gold rush of the 1850s, which brought immense wealth and a wave of migration. By the late 19th century, it was one of the largest and wealthiest cities in the British Empire, known for its grand architecture, cultural institutions, and booming trade.… Read more

Been There Ornament – Australia 2

Posted on

Similar to the bigger v2 mug, this new revised Been There Ornament – Australia v2 is dedicated to surfing and anything related. Also, I couldn’t help but notice that the ornament is a total copy of the bigger mug, with the exception of the two-piece swimsuit missing from the design of the ornament. That is unusual for the Been There Series, where ornaments have fewer elements than full-size mugs.

Surfing culture in Australia is deeply ingrained in the nation’s coastal lifestyle, with its world-famous beaches and surf spots drawing surfers from around the globe.… Read more

Been There Ornament – Australia

Posted on

Starbucks Been There Ornament Australia is interesting in a way that it comes in a set with other Australian ornaments. You can see it in the picture below, together with the Australia v2 ornament. Yes, it took me so long to get it that Starbucks released a new version of the ornament! I have to admit, I am not a big fan of this type of packaging because, in order to get all the Australian cities, you have to buy multiple country ornaments.… Read more

Been There – Australia 2

Posted on

Absolutely out of nowhere, Starbucks revealed a new version of the mug released earlier. It seems that the design of Been There – Australia 2 is entirely dedicated to surfing and anything related to it, and as you can see from the comparison picture below, there are pretty much no common elements between v1 and v2.

It is a well-known fact that surfing is deeply ingrained in Australian culture, reflecting the nation’s close relationship with the ocean and its laid-back, outdoor lifestyle.… Read more

Been There – Australia

Posted on

Five mugs from the Land Down Under were released about a year ago. They are available in stores but are still harder to get for collectors in Europe or the Americas due to high-cost shipping. But if you’re a true hardcore fan, that should not stop you, right? Let’s start with the Starbucks Been There – Australia mug.

Australia, known colloquially as the “The Lucky Country,” boasts a rich history and cultural diversity. Indigenous Australians, believed to have settled the continent around 65,000 years ago, possess one of the oldest continuous cultures on Earth.… Read more
