Excerpt from Idiom of Oz

aluminum: (al-U-min-E-em)

It is the same as the metal used anywhere else in the world.

anchor:

This is what most people commonly know as brakes on a motor vehicle. You may find that while you're getting familiar with driving in Australia, you may at sometime have to 'punch the anchor' to avoid having a severe traffic accident. This is most probably whilst trying to escape from a double-lane 'round-about' in Canberra. 'Anchors' are also referred to as people who always are trying their damnedest to persuade their friends from participating in anything. Persistent 'anchors' are considered to be 'bloody loafs'.

annoyed:

Upset, frustrated. But not 'agro'.

ANZAC:

ANZAC day:

A day created on the 25th of April for Australian and New Zealanders to have remembrance of the veterans who participated in World War I (WWI) & World War II (WWII). An Anzac is also a term used to identify a veteran who sacrificied their life and served for their country.

ANZAC Cookies:

Resurrected by modern day retail markets, these cookies and recipe were introduced in WWI, which was used by waiting mothers and wives when they then packed the baked goods into food parcels to be sent to their loved ones. It was told that they were put in there as a treat. These days, they are pretty well an icon biscuit.
