Mate - friend, aquaintance.
This is a common greeting between males, as is buddy.
For girls, a more formal address is appropriate, "Nice to meet you".
For the boys, if the girls are attractive, say "Geese guys, bloody good looking shielas".
"Want some tucker?" - are you hungry.
"Let's hit the road" - let's get going.
"Bloody oath" - I agree.
For the full low down on Aussie slang I have a link here for you. Have fun.

I've been subscribing to this PennyStock web site for about a year now and have loved the objective advice they give http://penny-stock.keysolve.net
He really does look for quality stocks and I've made some pretty nice profits on a lot of his suggestions.
Being still fairly new to investing I have been dabbling a lot in penny stocks to try and grow my account. I may not have a big account, but it's a lot bigger than it was a year ago.
On just one of Nathan's picks this year I managed to make my investment back ten-fold!
Penny stocks are notoriously risky but if you follow the right method the risk is almost 0.
I suggest to invest only little money first and then reinvest the profits.

Mate is used alot when people don't know your name and it also means friend. Try ' no worries' for a typical aussie saying, they use that alot. : )

Like everyone says in that context it just means friend (you might say it to a stranger you're trying to be friendly to though)
In other contexts it can mean an animal's sexual partner however.
"The lion's current mate was the mother of his cubs."
Or be used as a verb meaning to have sex for children
"Animals mate because it is instinctive."

It's really possible to make money with trading online, specially with binary trading. You have just to know where to learn... and I know the best source ( http://forexsignal.kyma.info ) This course explain everything you need to start a very profitable trading activity. Before you "learn" to day trade you first must understand the markets, the products traded in the markets and the rules you have to follow to be in the market. You have to learn what to do, why to do it, when to do it and how to do it. If can learn all of this then and only then can you day trade. Before you day trade you must be able to trade. You also need a written sound trading/investment plan with rules that will not only help you but more importantly protect you, mostly from yourself. You also need sufficient trading/investment capital. Use your own money, there’s no need to go into debt so that you can trade/invest. It is more imperative to have a written money management program in place. Remember never invest 100% of your capital into any one security and never have 100% of your capital invested and a good understanding of the rules

Along with stone, mud and animal parts, wood was one of the first materials worked by early humans. Microwear analysis of the Mousterian stone tools used by the Neanderthals show that many were used to work wood. The development of civilization was closely tied to the development of increasingly greater degrees of skill in working these materials.

It is an English word(from England and Australia primarily) which means Good day friend.... I would not consider it a slang word in the sense but just another word for FRIEND
