A 'roo loose in the top paddock - eccentric.
Full as a State School - very drunk.
A Furphy - an unreliable rumour, probably false.
Budgie smugglers - male (sometimes female) underpants or swimming briefs.
Dingo's breakfast - a scratch, a sniff and a look around
Opened his lunch, trod on a frog - broke wind
Round the world for a zac - cheap wine (obsolete but it's a great expression) a zac was sixpence, five cents in the coinage since 1966.
As much use as a back pocket on a singlet - useless, a singlet is an undershirt.
Technicolor yawn - vomit after drinking heavily (probably invented by Barry Humphries about 1968) also "liquid laugh" and "big spit".
Flash as a rat with a gold tooth - showy person who may not be always on the right side of the law, showy car, showy house.
thongs - sandals with two thongs that meet between the big and next toe. Not strictly slang. In NZ these are called "jandals". Not just skimpy underwear
Two bob watch - unreliable machine - from a cheap watch costing a mere two shillings or 20c. Probably never existed.
ringer - a superior sort of employee on a cattle raising station or the fastest shearer in a shearing shed.
jackaroo - the most superior sort of employee on a sheep or cattle station. Generally has some sort of education and likely to become an owner or a manager.
jillaroo - female equivalent
cowboy - generally a broken down and frequently alcoholic employee on a cattle station. Fit only to look after the milking cows, feed the chooks (chickens) and do a bit of gardening when sober. An insult to a ringer or a jackaroo.
cowboy - an unreliable person who does mostly poor work.

Those 'sheep shaggers' across the ditch won the Bledisloe Cup, last year. (Australian's find it difficult to pronounce four letter words like: Kiwi.)
