Just a quick one...
Language: It took me awhile to understand Australian. I'm still learning to speak it. Some examples of the dialect:
Lounge Room = Living Room
Benchtop = Countertop
Timber = Wood
Mate = What guys call each other
Almost any word can be made "Australian" by adding "ie" to the end of it.
For example: Brekkie = Breakfast, Pressie = Present, and get this one! Truckie (the big, burly semi-driver "truckie"?)= Trucker, and Barby = BBQ
Cheers, Judi
