Think Aussies speak English? Think again! Between the strong accent, Aussie slang, Aboriginal words that have become a common part of speech, and words garnered from their United Kingdom-based history, understanding Australian English can be a challenge. After Laine Cunningham spent six months camping alone in the Outback, she wrote this book to help other travelers make the most of their vacations. Many words and phrases are used in quotes from her award-winning novels and nonfiction books. Enjoy this book, and you will enjoy more of your time Down Under.
