Over these past two months I've been immursed into the Byron Bay culture and have been introduced to many new words.
Since some of these words will be now found in my writing I thought it would be good to teach them to you as well.

Australian /American
Nappy/Diaper
Dummy/ pacifier
lift / elevator
mossy / mosquito
togs / swimsuit
saultanas/raisins
popo / papaya
rock melon /cantalop
avo /avacado
You have a go / It's your turn
Iceblocks/popcicle
jumper/sweater
thongs/flipflops
bench/counter top
ta/thank you
footy/ football
rice bubbles/ rice crispies


Bascially they take a lot of words from the Britians. So often I have to ask people what they mean and really use context clues to understand. There are so many others so we will continue this lesson later. :)
