Test yourself on your knowledge of Australian speach.
Explain the following passage:
In the arvo last Chrissy the relos rocked up for a Barbie, some bevvies and a few snags. After a bit of a Bex and a lie down we opened the pressies, scoffed all the chockies, bickies and lollies. Then we drained a few tinnies and Mum did her block after Dad and Steve had a Barney and a bit of biffo.

In the afternoon of last Christmas, the family came for a BBQ, some beers and sausages. After a bit of a bex ( Im an Aussie and never heard this ) and a nap/sleep we opened the gifts, ate chocolate, biscuits and sweets. We then drank a few beers and Mum lost her temper after Dad and Steve had a fight and threw some punches.
TBH I would use half of these in daily convo.
