Do you still wear those outback hats with the balls on strings to keep the flies away during the summer?
Well, my real culture is from the Adriatic.
Aussie culture (if it exists) in my eyes is a funny one.
seppos, I think is the short version of septic tank, which rhymes with yank. lots of things get names like that. David becomes dave, then davo. Same with Johno, micko, shayno & wayno.
Most of the slang is rhyming slang and shortened.
Only ever seen the hats in tourist shops or at fancy dress (bad taste party maybe)
