How are you going? - Australian version of "How are you?" Mate - Used similar to "bro" in the US. I'm pretty sure this is used in the UK too. G'day - An abbreviation of "good day". Used as a greeting. I'm pretty sure we swear the same as the US and the UK. I can't think of any differences at least.

A big thing that non-Australians struggle with is that we slur our words together a lot, for eg: Instead of 'how are you going' we say 'howyagoin?' We also drop word final consonant/syllable and add a vowel instead - this happens a lot. For example: Service station = servo Bottle shop = bottleo Afternoon = arvo David = Dave/Davo Steven = Stevo Bricklayer = brickie Carpenter = chippie Electrician = sparkie Barbecue = barbie We say 'no worries' a lot. I mean, a lot. It basically means 'no problem' or 'don't stress'. 'She'll be right' = everything will be okay: 'Dave, you cut your hand open! Ah no worries, she'll be right...' 'Yeah nah' = no, 'nah yeah' = yes. We swear a huge amount by English speaking country standards, of course this depends on your work environment but it's quite common and accepted for well educated men and women to swear among friends, at home etc. It's also quite common for friends to swear at and insult each other; it's a sign of a close friendship. 'Oi Alex ya dickhead, what do you want from the bottleo?' We also make compound swear words, usually by adding fuck+ to something. Fuck gets used a lot in everyday language, it's still considered vulgar in other places but it's quite normal here. Fuckwit Fuckstick Fuckhead Fuckknuckle You can also combine, for eg 'fuckin fuckwit' for added emphasis. Also, if something is broken it's 'fucked'. Problem with your car? Yeah mate, it's fucked. That's all I can think of for the time being but if you like I can message you more.

Su.Ki, yeah probably. It was 12 in the morning in Tehran when i posted that question :D and Jmat, thanks for this awesome info :D

Actually I remember the wallabies were really active during the day during a school camp trip on Stradbroke Island. They even raided a few tents while we were off doing our activities.

Yeah. There's a park near where I live that's sometimes filled with them at around 2 or 3am, but they all disappear by the morning. That's a bush species. I don't know if the island or desert ones are the same.
