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, last christmas, the relatives came over for a BBQ, some drinks and a few sausages. After a bit if of a cup of tea and a lie down we opened the presents, ate all the choclates, biscuits and lollies. We proceeded to drink a few cans of beer. Mother was none too please with father and steve had an argument and a bit of a fight.
