David Swann said Corker, it's a bottler, a really grouse OZ dictionary. As a writer I find it a fabulous resource of the inique turn of phrase that Australian's use. It is a very colorful language, raw, rude, funny, visual, dry, toungue in cheek, always irreverant, rebelious and never dull. It's a brilliant guide for those who want to decifer what the hell we're talking about amd a great insight into the colorful origins of out culture. I've had a copy for over ten years and I'm still using it.
