Australian English idioms and vocabulary have been formed by the diverse life and landscape of this island continent, and enriched by the extensive borrowing of words from the language of Australia's Aboriginal peoples. With over fifty new entries, the second edition of The Dinkum Dictionary continues to be an essential reference for the home, the office, the classroom, for anybody curious about how and why we use words. --- from book's back cover
