Great Aussie Slang

There are no flies on your typical little Aussie battler when it comes to the colourful expression or the well-aimed insult.

This entertaining A-Z (from 'Act the angora' to 'Zonked') of popular Australian slang contains a wealth of our funniest and most irreverent words and sayings, together with some almost-obsolete reminders of our rugged colonial past.

A selection of classic Australian folk songs and verse (also part of our rich oral tradition) has been scattered throughout to help bring to life some of our older expressions.

Geoff Hocking's outrageous cartoons add to the fun.

Compulsory reading for all Australians. No bull!
