R.I.P. Gossamer!!
Most Aussies are fairly ashamed of Paul Hogan as being very poorly representative of what the people there are like.do you know any cool aussie slang? all i know is what i heard in crocodile dundee!
For a better idea of a true Aussie "bushie" (someone who knows the outdoors very well) you'd actually get a much stronger dose of reality listening to Steve Irwin, strangely.
My wife has an uncle that's like that. He lives in a town of 75 people and figures it's crowded. He says shit like "Crikey!" and the like. His wife, my wife's aunt, chose not to take his last name when they married as his last name is Dohnt. Yes, that is pronounced as Don't. When he gets aggravated with her he'll push his leather Akubra (google it if you don't know) to the top of his very-wide forehead and say, "Jeezus, Kaahmady!" (his wife's last name is Carmody)
He brews his own beer and built their house with his own hands. He's a pretty cool dude.
