Learning the local language... Aussie slang

Yes, don't let me confuse you, the official language here is still English (and I think primary language spoken as well, but some days depending on where I'm at in the city I wonder). However, sometimes a thick accent, someone talking quickly, or just throwing in enough "slang" words and I can be left wondering if I did really just hear English being spoken. Over the last month or so Steve and I have been working on compiling our own Aussie slang dictionary. I am sure it is quite far from complete, but just in case any of you are planning a trip in the near future or just want to throw any of these words into your American English vocabulary I thought I would share what we have learned. Many of these words are simply abbreviations, as it seems we've found Aussies really like to abbreviate things (hence the word Aussie). Some of these are not just Australian words or phrases either, but originate from British English. Please excuse the spelling as I cannot attest to the accuracy. And for any Aussie reading this, feel free to correct and add to my list!
