I have been to Brighton (nr. Melbourne) but no idea why the Rabbitohs (S. Sydney) cheerleaders
would have Brighton on their uniforms. Photo from 2007

There is also a Brighton in Melbourne. I met Trudy who was working as a Nurse in the Sussex County in 1987. About a year later she moved out and with another Nurse who was English, went to America, brought an old Dodge Charger and drove across America to San Francisco. Then flew back across the Pacific to Brighton in Melbourne, it's a suburb.
I guess that's why she came and worked in Brighton, Sussex, less trouble with the name! I don't know what she made of Woodingdean though.

There's a New Brighton in Christchurch, but it's more like Worthing after a nuclear war

To answer the OP's question. It's actually Brighton-Le-Sands, a suburb in South Sydney.

Brighton-Le-Sands, New South Wales - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

New Brighton was the original name used by tramway pioneer Thomas Saywell, after the famous seaside resort Brighton in England.[1] Land acquisitions began in the 1840s but no significant development occurred until the railway opened to Hurstville, via Rockdale in 1884. In 1885 Thomas Saywell constructed a tramway from Rockdale to Lady Robinson Beach, along Bay Street. He was given a 30 year lease on the line. He also financed and built the public swimming baths, a substantial picnic area, a race course and the Brighton Hotel, on the current Novotel site. It was a huge success and to avoid confusion with the English Brighton, it became known as Brighton-Le-Sands.
