Mostly Australian terms, many not in current usage. Here is a rough
translation...

  G'Day = (Good Day) Hello

  clued in = Realized. "To clue you in" is to pass on information to
somebody.

  vegemite = Australian. Comes from a line in an advertisment for a sandwich
spread which is unique to Australia. "We are happy little vegemites..."

  bonzer = Very good. This term is considered old-fashioned now.

  larrikin = A lovable rogue. Someone who can cause a bit of occasional
trouble but is generally tolerated, and may even be admired for it.
