In honor of Australia Day, here’s my latest addition to the Australian vocab list I’m building to help you decode some of the inevitable slang I will drop into.
H is for -
- Heaps - a lot (e.g. “you’ve given me heaps of vegies!”)
- Hoon -
(noun) hooligan, fast and crazy driver; (verb) to drive recklessly.
I is for -
- Iceypole
- popsicle, flavoured frosted ice.
J is for - …. well, I can’t think of anything. Jackaroo or jumbuck maybe, but they’re not really relevant!

A dumb Australian animal … holding a koala.
