The word "crikey" is also a phrase made famous by the late Steve Irwin.
Crikey.com.au front page.Crikey (named after the antique euphemism for "Christ!") is an independent Australian email-based reporting service. It was founded by shareholder-activist Stephen Mayne, a journalist and former staffer of then Victorian premier Jeff Kennett. It developed out of Mayne's "jeffed.com" website, part of his campaign for Kennett's seat of Burwood, standing as an independent candidate.
Well known in Australian political, media and business circles, Crikey has been more influential than its subscriber base (more than 9,000 paying, and 26,000 'squatters' receiving a free, limited version[1]) suggests. It often reports unpopular opinions and breaks stories not found in more mainstream media outlets. It is this type of reporting that led to Crikey being banned from the 2005 Budget "lock up", in which financial journalists are shown the Federal Budget papers some hours in advance so that their publications can report the Budget in depth as soon as it is released. Staff of Treasurer Peter Costello gave the excuse that Crikey is not considered to be part of the "mainstream media".

Crikey is just a colloquial expression of surprise that we use in Australia. Although it must be said that this expression is fading out in general use by most people.
Good question!

This is the genealogy category. Genealogy is the study of family trees. You were lucky, because we genealogists are brilliant, witty, literate, erudite and devilishly handsome, so you received some good answers. You are usually better off to ask in the proper category.

I think it's just an exclamation of surprise, such as "Jesus!" or "Holy moly," etc.
