Alas, Shasta, not even close! I can only give you a mark of 33% for getting the first sentence correct. Have another try. I won't be posting the answer for a couple of days yet. :D
Shasta542:
:laugh: -- well, I knew that was wrong!
Hmmm. Some of the others were close, you've said, so.....
"Good day, mate. Are you having a good day? Yes? Let's go have a drink, pal!"
Is that any closer?? :P

Like many English-speaking countries, there are different ways of speaking English in Australia.
We don't have anything as radical as dialects here, but there are 3 distinct forms of English pronunciation here in Australia.
Low-Aussie: Very low, base, coarse pronunciation. Once very widespread throughout Australia. The type of accent that most people think of when one considers an Aussie accent. It's not so common these days. My quote is written in this form.
Mid-Aussie: This type of Aussie-English pronunciation is that which is used by the majority of the population these days. It is delivered with a noticeable Aussie accent, but not as broad or coarse as in the common type as expressed in my quote. Think of Heath's true speaking voice. Mine too!
High-Aussie: The way English is spoken by those who consider themselves better than the rest of us. It's a nasty, pseudo-intellectual hybrid of Etonian English and Aussie-speak. Spoken by would-be intellectuals and socialites. The snobs' accent!

"G'Doy, moyt! You true-blue-dinky-doy? Yeah? Beaudy-bottlah, cobb-ah!"
What do you think it means?

That doesn't look like English one damn bit! Are you sure you didn't make this up Kerry! ;)
Well.... :-\
Good Boy (something or another. Maybe their name name is Moit.) Are you a true blue dinky toy? ??? Yeah? Beautiful butler, cobb on.
It STILL doesn't look like English! It doesn't make a damn bit of sense! :laugh: :-\
I think Kerry is picking on us! ;) :D
