Vin,

Good on yer.

I picked up a few expressions from friends in Brisbane, that I don't see on your page. I don't know if they are generic Oz or specific to Qld.

- mossie (mosquito)
- Morton Bay Bug (looks like a lobster, but the first time I had dinner at somebody's house and was told we were having bug's, I was just a little nervous).
- Geez mate, that's a grouse looking sheila [ok - most of my mates said this is pretty archaic, as was the bloke that was always saying it]
