According to wiki, is strine;

Strine /?stra?n/ is a term coined in 1964[1] and subsequently used to describe a joke or made-up "language" purportedly spoken by Australians whose accents frequently run words together in a type of liaison. The term is a syncope, derived from a shortened phonetic rendition of the pronunciation of the word "Australian" in an exaggerated Broad Australian accent.[2]

Oh, like.

Let's put some bangers on the barbie and have some tinnies until we get all cranky and have a barney, then we can chunder all over our clobber because we couldn't find the nearest dunny. When we have finished doing all that we can go shag some jumbucks because that's what us Aussies do.

Oh yes, I'm a pommy bastard by the way. Ha

Just some more of our super mega awesome sayings

built like a brick shithouse - strong/tough/buff
piss - beer/alcohol
pissed - drunk
donga - a small living space, usually an apartment or flat
brahh - brother
cobba/mate - freind
cobba digga - my good freind
maggot - student (teachers don't say this )
sheila - girl

Although I don't speak like this (I don't think I do anyway). but some people tighten their sentences and leave out some pauses.
ie. have a good day = avagooday

for more infomation... you can just look up Australia on Encyclopedia Dramatica

I thought the slang term for student was faggot, not maggot. Eh, must've changed it for political-correctness.
Also, brah is used in North America too, but I tend to usually want to backhand people who use that term.

Nah maggot is the correct word, anyway I think faggot is used worldwide

Yeah north americans use brah as well, but the "native" people tend to say Braahh!
eg. "ey braahh, wanna pley a geem of footy?"
