She'll be apples = it'll be all right

Aussie salute = brushing away flies with the hand (Out west the bush flies are very bad and to eat a steak at a barbecue, you have to brush away the flies so you can get the steak into your mouth.:eek:)

Big-note oneself = boast

He was not within a Cooee = far away.

On a recent cruise on radiance of the seas an Australianism quoted was Bush Telly = Campfire. Neither I or anyone I have asked has heard of it!

Possibly confused with Bush Telegraph?

Also in their description of Darwin it was stated that a railway line will soon link Alice Springs and Darwin. (How long has it been there?):)

 

The railway line opened in 2004 I was on the second Ghan to go through. Those port information sheets definately need updating.
