  Episode 26: Fair Dinkum: Aussie Slang Every Newcomer Needs to Know

  Jan 8, 202615 minS3

  Welcome back to 2026 and a brand-new year of Keen On Australia . In this first episode of the year, we kick things off by reflecting on what’s ahead for the podcast in 2026 — more episodes, more real-life stories from people living across Australia, and more practical advice to help you move, settle in, and make Australia home. We also take a moment to acknowledge the loss of Tim from the Shedbolt family , whose contribution to the Southland community in New Zealand will not be forgotten. To start the year on a lighter note, we’re joined by Kerry for a fun and very Australian deep dive into Aussie slang . From everyday phrases like arvo and brekkie to the slang that catches newcomers out (yes — thongs and rooted make an appearance), we break down what these words actually mean and how they’re used in real life. We also tackle one of the biggest shocks for new arrivals — Australian driving distances — and what Aussies really mean when they say something is “just up the road”. If you’re planning a move to Australia, newly arrived, or already settled and still trying to understand the lingo, this episode is the perfect way to start the year. 🎧 Plus, we tease an upcoming episode all about renting in Australia — including what not to do when applying for a rental.
