Languages (worldatlas.com)

British English and Australian English are very close. Although Australian english has a
colorful vernacular called “strine” thrown in. Strine or Ozspeak is the country’s very
creative product characterized by- abbreviations, profanities, and many different words
that are not found in British English. Many words are abbreviated Australia. A few
words have the vowel e, or o added as seen in derro (derelict), reffo (refugee), and Garbo
(dustman). Others have a suffix (I, ie, or y) such as in Aussie (Australian), Barbie
(barbecue), Chrissy (Christmas), footy (football), mozzie (mosquito), and cossie (swimming
costume).
