If you have trouble understanding us Aussies at times, here's a link to some Aussie slang ~ http://www.koalanet.com.au/australian-slang.html Some of them aren't much in use any more, and every State is different! Remember ~ Aussie women DON'T appreciate being called Shela!

Have a good Australia Day everyone....wish I was there!
