Australian English has, as almost all varieties of English, several words, expressions, and idioms which have moved across borders and therefore they are spoken in all territories where English is present. Some well-known examples of Australian terminology include outback, meaning a remote, sparsely populated area, the bush, meaning either a native forest or a country area in general, and g’day, a greeting.
Australian poetry, such as The Man from Snowy River, and folk songs, such as Waltzing Matilda, contain many historical Australian words and phrases that are understood by Australians even though some are not in common usage today.
Australian English, in common with several British dialects (for example, Cockney, Scouse, Glaswegian and Geordie), uses the word: mate. Many words used by Australians were at one time used in England but have since fallen out of usage or changed in meaning.
Nevertheless the sort of vocabulary, expressions, and idioms that we are going to talking about are those ones which are unique to Australia.
We will try to find the most curious ones and treat them with a humor point of view. Have fun everybody!!!
