I’ve wanted to test this out for a while now.
I’ve been wonering whether I can spell words in strange ways so that If an American reads it in there accent, it comes out as an Australian accent.
Try this:
“Gadaori, moorite!”

If you say “beer can” in an English accent it sounds like “bacon” in Jamaican

A voice recording of you saying it would be amazing.
You caught me wearing one of my favorite shirts too, in honor of our currently very stupid, very frustrating countries birthday

Back to the lab we go 
Ok! Here’s my edit:
“Gadai, mawite!”
I feel like if I put some oomph into that would be spot on but with little man finally to bed, I cannot perform to my ‘ahem’ full potential

I’ve spent too much time with bogan diggers on smoko outside the donga, so I’m biased and not sure I can really say it with my own accent since I’m aware of the end goal.
Does make me curious about which slang terms/phrases are more universal to Australia, and which ones are specific to the industry though. Pretty sure most people outside of mining wouldn’t really know what a bogger, dumpie, sparky, or powder monkey is, but what about purple circle, window licker, or gingerbeers? And does getting a pineapple mean the same thing in the rest of the country as it does on the mine site?
Wouldn’t “Bob’s yer Uncle!” be universal? Know a few Aussie’s and have picked up some of their colloquialisms

If you’re not Australian, then I have no idea how you know more Australian slang than me.

I have a few dear Australian friends, one who works with me in wildlife rescue, and one who plays the Ukulele. They are hilarious with their sayings. “Bobs yer uncle” is my favorite
Two days a week Every week I have to stay up and chat with my Australian counterparts for projects we are doing this year. Sometimes when the idle chatter is going at the start of a meeting I just smile and nod cause I have no clue what they are on about,

We refer to $50 notes as pineapples because they are yellow.

What if I told you, I learned what a powder monkey was from Louis L’Amour?

Aussie miners I’ve talked to are definitely not referring to $50 notes when they use that phrase. Sometimes they add that the pineapple is the “wrong way 'round”.
