Aussie Stuff....

Of course I can’t include all the Aussie stuff in my ‘Aussie stuff’ page but what I’ve attempted to do is to write a page that will give visitors to Australia some sort of handle on what they can expect when they come to Oz.

We Aussies are, after all, a very different lot; our sense of humour is legendary but very difficult sometimes for our visitors to understand, for example, where else in the world would you find that the redheads in the community are all nicknamed ‘Blue” or “Bluey?

Things are often expressed as a contradiction, Aussies know what it all means but a visitor has Buckleys, (to have "Buckleys" means you have no chance...)

Aussie Slang

If you’re from the old dart, that’s England, and you understand a little cockney rhyming slang then you’ve got a head start on most people because the Aussie rhyming slang has it’s origins in the East End of London, however it has developed and changed over the years to suit Australia and Australians.

You can find out a little more about the Australian language right here, including some of the more common Aussie slang words and phrases.
