  • Z is for …

    Zonked, as in very tired indeed. Zack means a 5c coin. If someone didn’t have zack, they’d be fairly poor. And that, is the end of our Aussie alphabet. We’ll do a roundup, so take this opportunity to add any final words!

  • Y is for …

    Yakka, as in hard work. This is what Alf is known for. A yobbo is a houligan or a lout. Colleen would say the River Boys are all yobbos.

  • Space and time

    …Are the magic ingredients necessary to make Ruby’s relationship with Romeo work according to the woman herself. Now that Sid gave Indy the money to repay Romeo, Ruby wants his ex out of the picture. Everything is going swimmingly according to Ruby, what could possibly go wrong? Did somebody say “fake pregnancy”? Leah knows the…

  • X is for …

    XXXX, an Australian beer. I’ve never tasted it so it could be horrible for all I know. We don’t have anymore ideas for X, so please help us out if you have any suggestions.

  • Copshop2

    Xavier convinced Gina to allow him delve into the mystery of the man in Jett’s photo. Off to YCPDHQ he went, and straight onto Cop Database, using his cryptic password, copshop2. He got caught, though. Will his useless cop career be over before it began? I don’t think he’s natural po-lice. Poor daft Indi. She…

  • W is for …

    Wagging from school might be known at mitching here or playing truant in the UK. Young Jett would be known for his wagging. A walkabout is a long, long treck in the bush. Doesn’t really crop up that often in Summer Bay. Waltzing Matilda is probably the most famous australian song for us outsiders. I…

  • Trainee Officer Renegade

    Hurray, Home and Away is back, and Xavier’s on the beat. This is going to be amazing, he has promise as the worst cop to hit the Bay since Jack (RIP). So, your first day on the job, an experienced cop shows you around, and tells you not to use the records or the database.…

  • V is for …

    Vegemite is an aussie paste made from yeast extract, similar to marmite. It can be spread on bread for a sandwich, as the Men at Work famously did.

  • You know we…

    …are back on Irish telly today! Yippee! I’m going to be fierce confused though, as I’ve been watching the old episodes on Channel 5. Didn’t Sally just get stabbed? Where’s Fisher?

  • U is for …

    Ute. We might call it a truck but or jeep but in Australia it’s a Ute. Alf has one, Brax has one and Scott “Kip Gamblin” Hunter had one back in the day. You can see a classic example of one here. Uni is where you go when you’re finished school. It’s where Shannon went…
