Or possibly Mooloolaba

What is the most Australian word and why is it “barramundi?”

“Bingle” and “prang” (separate, regional terms for a small auto accident) are up there for me

Granted I've only lived in Melbourne for a year so far, but I was pretty sure it was "billabong" or "snag"

Oi, yeah, nah mate. You've made an absolutely critical mistake.

You've used the hard R. S'un-Strayan is what it is.

I vote for "coo-eee"

I will support my vote with anecdotal evidence. The phrase was used in one of Sir Arthur Conan Doyles' Holmes mysteries for an Australian Character in Ballarat.

Even knowing that if you read them now it doesn't spoil the plot. I just won't tell you which one #straya

Ooh, that brings back memories. I read that one, long before I heard anyone do it. Had no idea what it actually sounded like 😄

I first heard the story narrated by Stephen Fry doing a "coo-eee" in a Disgruntled Aussie Accent 😁
