G'day friends, Ollie here and I wanted to teach you some cool phrases from Australia.

When I'm excited about something and want to show my appreciation for it, I say Ace! which means "Excellent! Very good!". If I'm hungry I'll often through some yummy burgers on the Barbie which of course is a Barbecue. After eating some spicy Barbecue I might need to wander to the Billabong which is the watering hole to get a sip of cooling water. After a good meal and a refreshing drink of water I like to take a Walkabout in the Never Never which is the Outback, otherwise known as the center of Australia. Out in the Never Never I'm bound to run across a Roo or two! I betcha can guess what a Roo is!

One of my most favorite sports is surfing, and let me tell you that I am no Shark biscuit. What's a shark biscuit? Somebody who is new to surfing! I often wear my Sunnies at the beach to keep the sun out of my eyes. Americans probably known Sunnies by the name Sunglasses.

Wowser, I hope you enjoyed learning a few Aussie terms today. I'll be sure to write about more Australian slang for you, dear reader, in the near future. So check back often to read Ollie's Zone!

Hooroo (means Goodbye) Friends, talk to you later!
