This book is very straight forward and alphabetically listed in translation style with sentence examples. A nice little refence guide. My only critisism is that it could probably have been a bit more comprehensive, but it is definitely a good starting point for anyone new to Aussie expressions.

This review is from: Wordbook of Australian Idiom - Aussie Slang: No Worries! She's Apples! (Paperback)

It is a little hard to navigate because the sayings are arranged by Australian rather than English. In other words, Australians say Dinke Dee, so I navigate to Dinke Dee to find out what that means. I'd rather be able to look up how Australians say "It's Great" not try and flip through the pages until I randomly find "Dinke Dee" meaning "It's Great."

Aside from that, the book is a pretty complete volume, just a little hard to flip through.
