Culture shock aside, you'd expect things to be different when you're on the other side of the planet. Here is a list of words that are used here, and their translations to Canadian. Took me a while to figure them out, and here's all I've learned so far.
Slab - Two-Four (beer)
Pram - Stroller
Grog - Alcohol
Goon Bag - Wine in a Box
Arvo - Afternoon
Cracker - Usually in sports, a good hit or a good goal
Pelican - Idiot
That's all I can think up at the moment. I'll try and figure out more and edit the post later.

Remember, an elevator is called a "lift", a mile is called a "kilometer", and botulism is called "steak and kidney pie".
