I've just read the 'rhyming slang' and some other sections on that site, and I guess your ancestors took a load of these expressions with them when they got exported! LOL, a lot of those are recognisable from here, especially for Londoners. Equally a lot of them though are genuinely Oz.
PS - I notice that the cricket gets a mention, but not the Rugby World Cup.
