The basics:
Melbourne = Melbin
Australia = 'Straya
the letter 'h' = HAYtch
a lot = heaps; "There were heaps of people at the beach on Friday" or "thanks heaps for your help"
Aussies don't say "you're welcome", it's either = 'no worries' or 'it's ok'
breakfast = brekky
sunglasses = sunnies
bathing suit = bathers
sweatshirt = jumper
flip-flops = thongs
bogans = "rednecks"
My favorites:
"just a little bit, just a tad" = just a whiska' (whisker)
"good for you, well done" = good on ya
some guy = bloke
cup of tea/coffee = cuppa
raisins = sultanas; Sultana Bran exists, guys
"true or false" = truth or trash
