As long as someone (Other than one of John Stewart's Ghost Writers) can translate Waltzing Matilda, I'll be happy.

Is Australia as awesome as it looks in "The Rescuers Down Under"? 'Cause I need to go there if it's anything like that.

Though I would be afraid of running into this guy:

Actually, it's from another GI Joe voiceover. There are many.

Go far enough north and you're bound to start heading in the right direction. The trick is to just KEEP going.

Good, good... we'll have you all talking Aussie soon enough...

Do you require any to be explained?

Otherwise, here's a few more...

Ambo.
Bodgy.
Cut lunch and a water bag.
Digger.
Earbashing.
Fairy floss. (EVERYONE show know that one...)
Goog, as in, "full as a goog".
Hooroo.
Journo.
Lob in.
Mug.
Nut out.
Outback.
Pav.
Rock up.
Stoked.
Thingo.
Uni.
Vejjo.
Wobbly, as in, "chuck a wobbly".
Yabber.

Whilst we're having "Aussie language lessons", I should warn you right about now... I doubt you can add this to your CV's/resumes stating that you're multilingual... but you can try!!

Not many answers. Should we turn this quiz into a lesson, Missy?

Some context for guessers:

"Where'd you get that dress from? The op shop?"
"Lippy ... perfume ... all set?"
"Did ya see that hoon zoom by? In the blue ute?"

"Watch out, that bloke's as full as a goog; he'll knock ya block off if you get him narked."

...What do you mean that didn't help? It's entirely within context.
