Question for Aussies!

[derekw68]

huntress drover is our version of your cowboy he/she moves cattle/sheep around to new locations to find feed or water or still to move herds to a new station/ranch they wear a long water proof coat which always remind of the dust jackets you see in your cowboy movies exsample jessie james

my miniature schnauzer has a drizabone for those cold, wet days! He doesn't look quite as tough as a heeler would in one though!
And the hat's pronounced "a-coo-bra" - hope that makes sense.

hehe mini schauzers are cute :) Mmmm my old heeler looks pretty tough in his! Not really, he's a sook...

[huntress]

Rotfl! SO....I am a Drover in my A COOOO bra and Driza bone. Geesh....now what the heck is a "sook"!!!! Thats too much words.....Im just a girl on my pony in my hat and coat. My dogs have horse blanket style coats.

a sook is someone who has a bit of a cry about things. like if you put a jacket on a dog and it stands there looking sad at you, it's a sook.

or if you stub your toe on a step and it's not really bad but you still have a whinge anyway, people might call you a sook LOL

[huntress]

LOL, so now whats a whinge?? Its like a whole different language over there. I so want to see Australia one day. I so miss Steve Irwin.

[Ashling]

Whinging is complaining in an irritating way about something that isn't such a big deal- Like when kids at the supermarket don't stop whinging about not getting a lollie! "WIN- JING"

[injectionofyou]

its funny, im from australia and i rarely hear people being called sheilas.

[Ashling]

Me neither! ... but it's part of Aust's history I guess. It's the big tough outback blokes that call us sheilas ehehe

[kali]

move to a bogan area, they ACTUALLY SAY IT!

LOL @ WHINGING.. hahah i just assumed you'd know what it meant!

and the spelling is a lot different between the two countries as well... like moulting/molting, favourite/favorite... stuff like that..
