G'day from the land downunder, the land of grouse-looking sheilas, sunshine, the long weekend and the best beer in the world. Aussies have enjoyed magnificent isolation for over two hundred years. We've never really bothered about keeping up with the rest of the globe. And as a result, we've got a language all our own. But now Paul Hogan has gone and blown the best-kept secret in the universe. We're copping hordes of tourists on our doorstep every day. And our own billy lids are learning a different language that we can't understand. It's time we all got back to basics. And that's why we've published this literary masterpiece – which will be a great reference source for travellers and new settlers in our great land, too.
A collection of Australian slang expressions with generally broad and colourful explanations. Many are in common use in our language but with less colloquial meaning. Many are dictionary words while others are arranged as expressions or phrases. Some are accompanied by graphics by the cartoonist Andrew Fyfe. The collection is arranged in alphabetical order. The author is well known for his television character roles and has written two other books, 'The Aussie Slang Dictionary' and 'Don't Come the Raw Prawn'.

What Australian say – and what they really mean. Australia has given the world thousands of colouful words and expressions. From the back of Bourke to the rough end of the pineapple, it's all here. Aussie Slang is the phrase book for visitors to Oz. It's ideal reading for local blokes and sheilas, too.
"Brilliant", "Arguably the most important work in its field", "A literary masterpiece" ... just a few of the accolades critics didn't shower on John Blackman's first book, The Aussie Slang Dictionary. Despite this, it became a smash-hit success. Don't Come the Raw Prawn! is the side-splitting, risque sequel of words and phrases so dear to the Australian heart. Blackman, the multimedia personality best known as the voice of 'Hey Hey It's Saturday' (and the brains behind the rascally Dickie Knee) is now more than ever convinced of the world's insatiable desire to learn more about the lingo of the Land Down Under – so ... Stop alecking around and don't be a bunny ... this latest book is a lot more useful than a glass door on a dunny. You'd have to be one sandwich short of a picnic or have death adders in your pocket not to pull out the Oscar and take a geek at a book that's as funny as a hatful. Don't be a grape on the business, or a half-back flanker; when it comes to Aussie phrases, this book's fuller than a seaside dunny on Boxing Day. Starve the lizards, it's London to a brick that you'll be cracking yourself when you find out what getting off at Redfern means. Books like this are as rare as rocking horse poop and it's no good arguing the toss about that. Stone the crows, have a fair suck of the sav!
One man's quest to realise a boyhood dream and break a national record. Sean Dooley seems like a well adjusted, functioning member of society but beneath the respectable veneer he harbours a dark secret. He is a hard-core birdwatcher (aka twitcher'). Sean takes a year off to try to break the Australian twitching record - he has to see more than 700 birds in twelve months. Travelling the length and breadth of Australia, he stops at nothing in search of this birdwatching Holy Grail, blowing his inheritance, his career prospects and any chance he has of finding a girlfriend. Part confessional, part travelogue, this is a true story about obsession. It's about seeking the meaning of life, trying to work out what normal' is, and searching for the elusive Grey Falcon (the bird, not the car). Sean's story of how he followed his childhood dream of becoming a national champion is both inspiring and ridiculous. Could this be the most pathetic great achievement in Australian history?
