42) You use the phrase 'no worries' at least once a day
43) You've been on a beach holiday and probably stayed in a caravan
44) You constantly shorten words. For example,breakfast becomes 'brekkie' and afternoon becomes 'arvo', barbeque becomes 'barbie'
45) You order a $5 steak the size of your head at your local RSL
46) You've adopted a local bar as one of your own
47) You know all the words to 'Holy Grail' and sing it at the top of your lungs.
