Ok.. so everyone knows that we aussies *ahem* have a funny way of abbreviating our words. So, we're lazy but hey, we're unique. So here's just a few of the words/phrases you might struggle to understand when talking to a foreigner, like me. [Purpose is to educate you guys before I come back]

G'day mate! - this is a dead giveaway. you should know what this means.
How's it going? - what's up?
Wicked! - awesome, see 'sweet' and 'sick'
I reckon hey. - i think so LAH.

Sweet! -nice one. see 'wicked' and 'sick'
Sick! - some awesome shitt. see 'wicked' and 'sweet'
no worries! - no problem, a reply to 'thanks!'
