We use them every day, some of us more than others. They make our conversations colourful and interesting, loud and bright, rich and rare… and sometimes seemingly foreign or incomprehensible to visitors to our shores.They derive from a variety of cultural, historical and ethnic sources, and have adapted and evolved over time into a collection of truly original 'Australian-isms'.<br /> <br />They underline and emphasise the linguistic imprint of who we are as Australians. Some call them 'Strine'. Others, simply slang or idiom. We like to think of them as Australian 'Slang-uage' – Sayings, Slang and Idiom, the Aussie way. Here are some Aussie sayings to ponder:<br /> <br />'Hello, here's trouble', 'How are you me old china?', 'Howzit garn?' 'Saw your light on, thought I'd drop in', 'We have to stop meeting like this'.

American Angie Donovan has never wanted much. When you grow up getting bounced from foster home to foster home, you learn not to become attached to anything, anyone, or any place. But it only took her two days to fall in love with Australia. With her visa clock ticking, surely she can fall in love with an Australian-and get hitched-in two months…especially if he's as hot and funny as her next-door neighbor. Jace Walters has never wanted much-except a bathroom he didn't have to share, the last cookie all to himself, and solitude. But when you grow up in a family of seven, you can kiss those things goodbye. He's finally living alone and working on his syndicated comic strip in private. Sure, his American neighbor is distractingly sexy and annoyingly nosy, but she'll be gone in a few months… Except now she's determined to find her perfect match by checking out every eligible male in the town, and her choices are even more distracting. So why does it suddenly feel like he-and his obnoxious, tight-knit family and even these two wayward dogs-could be exactly what she needs?

“Count on Jill Shalvis for a witty, steamy, unput-downable love story.” —Robyn Carr  It’s fair to say that gutsy pilot Mel Anderson is happier in the air than on the ground. But she also has to clean up after her disorganized best friend and business partner and keep an eye on their employees, who tend to make more work than they get done. Now, the one man she hoped she’d never see again is back and looking for trouble. The kind of trouble that keeps Mel grounded in a most unexpectedly pleasurable way . . . Bo Black wants his family’s airport back, and he’s determined to get it. He might be a laid-back Aussie, but he’s also nobody’s fool. And neither is Mel. She’s intense. Uptight. Sexy. And very, very tempting. Suddenly, Bo’s thinking less about revenge and more about kissing and touching and falling into a fly-by-the-seat-of-your-pants kind of forever love . . .
