I love your idioms. Some of them I recognized from Feral, but most were new to me. It was fun the way you worked them around to a story, and let us imply some of the meanings.

I love the artwork you chose. It's unique and sets your story up well.

Have a great week,
Rhonda

Comment from Sherry Asbury

Excellent

I actually knew a lot of these. It is a unique write for you and one I thought was great, fair dinkum... Language is always filled with some of the local idioms. I drank in the ones I was not familiar with. Your artwork is great and you are a wonderful contributor to the idiom book

This is precious! I have an Australian friend (besides you), a transplant by marriage and moved to Florida. Valda ate Vegamite, and shared these idioms. This is delightful and a welcome addition to the book. A six for sure.
Sending you my best to the Donga,
Sal XOs...

You made me smile here and of course I have heard all these sayings have a brother in law who is a true Aussie! My favourite is: Fair Dinkum, love Dolly x

I enjoyed this as it helped me remember why I have never understood Australian. I knew some of the terms used but I have to confess some of them are really strange. But I loved it and good on you mate from a Pom.

I think I just saw a little different side of you in this poem. It's very good but I had to read it three times finally using your notes that spelled out what you were talking about. Good job!

To us, Yanks, you guys are something else. I suppose that is why Crocodile Dundee made such a hit here in the sates. Good one, Bro. I might try this. LOL.
