What are "country values"?

I've just started watching Married At First Sight Australia and one couple (and the experts) keeps going on about "country values" (as opposed to city I suppose?!)
Any ideas what these values would be? Im from the city and DH grew up in the middle of nowhere but feel like we share almost all values...

City people are supposed to be more materialistic & more concerned with appearances, socialising, ambition, aspirations, "culture", formal education, personal wealth, travel, influence.

Obviously the local aristocracy & posh folk that continue fox hunting have overlapping interests with the city types.

Watch Kaleb on Clarkson's farm. (Lovely fellow). He cares more about tramlines than going clubbing.

@lljkk that's interesting, thanks. So I suppose my question is what are the corresponding country values? An appreciation of nature is a big one, of course. But I felt like the way it was used on the show was more about the importance of family etc, which I would say is very important to people in the city too!
