Australianisms +

Bute Creek is full of phrases and words that you may not have heard before, especially if you are not Australian or haven't visited us yet!

​

Australianisms are "a linguistic usage, custom or other feature peculiar to or characteristic of Australia, its people, or their culture".

​

There are words that are commonly used by some Aboriginal people, a taste of Australian rhyming slang and some Scottish expressions too!

​

The names of places and Traditional Owners should also test your pronunciation skills!
