Australian slang

Today i'm doing a fun project about Australian slang! Before I start here are a couple of relevant words and what they mean:

Accent: Accent is the way your voice sounds when you pronounce words, a group of people (in a country) will speak in an accent and another group of people (from a different country) will speak in a different accent.

Dialect: dialect is when people in a different areas speak the same language with some slightly different words, for example in Cornwall instead of saying 'see you later' you might say 'see you dreckly.'
