Australian English:

Australian English is similar in many respects to British English but it also borrows from American English. (For example, it uses truck instead of lorry, and freeway rather than motorway.) It is most similar to New Zealand English, although the difference is immediately obvious to a speaker from either country. Australian English also incorporates several uniquely Australian terms, such as outback to refer to remote regional areas, walkabout to refer to a long journey of uncertain length and bush to refer to native forested areas, but also to regional areas as well. Fair dinkum can mean are you telling me the truth? Or, this is the truth! or even this is ridiculous! Depending on context.
