Although I do have a lot more decimal than pre-decimal.
In come the dollars and in come the cents.
Out go the pounds and the shillings and the pence.
Be prepared when the coins begin to mix.

LOL....it is a type of fish...some people spell it as grouper. Downunder, residents of each State are given a nickname. People who live in Western Australia are known as sand gropers just as residents of South Australia are known as Crow eaters and Queenslanders are known as banana benders....

Thanks K_C...I stand corrected...being a non dinki di the fish version was the one I was fed with many many moons ago...

South Hedland sure has heaps of dinki dis and spinnifex blondes...[:p]

As for me, I am a dinki di allright....though more of one with a chop shuey flavour..

Is that chop shuey with sweet or sour sauce.
Apart from our indigenous friends the Chinese have been here and helped make this country what it is today as long as anybody else. If it wasn't for the Chinese, Broome and Darwin along with alot of other towns would not have that special something that they have (not just restaurants LOL).
There is a lot of biggots out there that would find it hard to admit that. But thats OK they are a dying breed in Australia anyway.
I'm only 1st generation Aussie myself. Born and bred in Perth. The most isolated capital city in the world, and proud of it.
Good on ya mate
Crack another tinny and chuck another prawn on the barby will ya !!

Sorry guys! You are definitely speaking AUSTRALIAN, not English, and it is also amazing that I can detect your accent in your writing! And, it is really good to have it here! Kind of like adding new spices to an old dish! Really hope all of you hang around and share some knowledge, history, culture and do a little trading? Just hope there is something from the U.S. or Canada you fellows will be needing way down there? Doesn't have to be just coins as we folks up here will ship anything!!! Welcome aboard!
