How Aussie are you? Please translate the following passage into good English. Wal-Mart can try this as well.

After a day of hard yakka flat out like a lizard drinking, I headed to the boozer a few clicks away to grab a coldie. My throat was dry as a dead dingo. As I parked my bum, Jake entered. Jake had a few kangaroos loose in the top paddock, in fact, he was more than a few stubbies short of a six-pack. Anyway, the galah's wife has left him, so he spends his days with his rug rats. He don't got a brass razoo, but his ankle biters are always happy little Vegemites. Dave aint an ocker like meself, more of a dag, not giving a pig's sod about his dacks.

So we sit and yarned. Dave's an ex-apple islander, now dinkum banana bender, so he's got plenty to tell. A whole busload of bogans and yobbos rolled up complaining about back of Bendigo, but I said, "Fair suck of the sav! Bloody oath, we're in the lucky country."

pffiiiuuu....
fair play!
I'm glad i dont run for NT! :)

although I'm sure I'm more clever than your Jake... I've realised what 8 months here did to my vocabulary...

Thats is an awesome passage, and a great thing to ask NT candidates because it realy tests them as to how aussie they are. And of course we like a true aussie leading our side.

I reckon cometer should give it a crack after they foreigners attempt it

After a busy day of hard work , I headed to the a pub a few kilometres away to grab a beer.. My throat was really dry. As I parked my bum, Jake entered. Jake had a few kangaroos loose in the top paddock, in fact, he was more than a few bottle beer's short of a six-pack. Anyway, the silly wife has left him, so he spends his days with his rug rats. He's very poor, but his ankle biters are always happy little Vegemites. Dave isn't an unsophisticated person like me, more of a a funny person, not giving a pig's sod about his tracksuit pants.

So we sit and yarned. Dave's an ex-apple islander, now a trusted person
from Queensland, so he's got plenty to tell. A whole busload of beer drinker’s and uncouth persons rolled up complaining about back of Bendigo, but I said, "Shut up! that’s certainly true, we're in the lucky country."

acceptable ?:D ,google search.. :|

I am sure you failed.

Terrific passage, i think 'clicks' should be 'klicks' though.

The first sentence was wrong =p

Haha funny. I guess taking a look through google is better then just leaving it. and its good you admitted going through google. Still there are obviously lines in there google doesn't know what it is or has wrong, but I liked your answer.

I have to give credit where it is due, my friend wrote it.

To be honest, I'm not sure I can translate the entire passage myself ;) In every community there are unique lexicons.

Personally the only bit that gets me unstuck is 'happy little vegemites' i've heard it before but in different contexts.
