Australians speak English, perhaps with a slightly different dialect, but it is English.

By crikey, at last a fair dinkum sheila, asking a bonza query. Strewth mate, how grouse is that cobber? Fair go Luv. Youse makes us all sound like a flammin pack a drongos. Real uneducated, like ya know what I mean? Uneducated like.
Contrary to the popular mythology postulated by the similarly uninformed, We do in point of actual fact speak English down here in the antipodes. Or didn't that thought cross Your mind? I presume that You are referring to Try articulating You question, and see if You cannot solicit a satisfactory response?
Might I put advance the suggestion that You seek the services of an interpreter,via the good auspices of the Australian Embassy?
Alternatively, One might try looking at the same establishment at which one procures an American - English dictionary. If memory serves Me correctly, a chap by the name of 'Webster' did rather a good job of rewriting the English language for the use of the Americans.

That's the funniest question I've read for a while.
Seriously, try to search out a copy of The Macquarie Dictionary. It's published by the Macquarie Library Pty Ltd. 43 Victoria Street, McMahon's Point, NSW, Australia 2060.
If you like, send me a few choice words to 'translate'.
Hope this helps.

here's an austrlian slang dictionary. Some of that stuff seems not really common though, I lived in Australia and I never heard most of it. But it's fun anyway.

There is no such thing as a Australian- English translation.

Not in Australia for sure.
Down there nobody speaks decent English.

I don't know that you can why not just post it and ask for people to tell you what it means?
