Instead you will be able to thoroughly enjoy each and every opportunity to connect with the folks in the land-of-plenty.
Whether you're enjoying a holiday on a white sandy beach, on a tram , dancing through the local arcade , or having tucker (perhaps a meatpie floatie or mixed grill ) with a complimentary glass of Australian wine or beer, you can relax knowing that you won't be labeled a burk (as long as you have a handy copy of this book in your pram , back pocket, or handbag).
The Australian English, terms, slang, and phrases are funny, raw, entertaining and (often) confusing.
