This place is pretty coup

We just arrived in Fiji and it feels like a sumer in Florida, weather I rather enjoy actually. I'd like to wrap up Australia though with some of their terminology:
G'day Mate: Hello friend
How you going?: What's up?
Schoolies: high school kids going crazy on their first week of school break
Sunnies, Boardies: Sunglasses, Bathing Suit/ Board shorts
Righty-Oh: Ok
Bugger Off: Head out
Heaps: lots (of something)
Good on ya: Good for you, way to go
Reckon: I think
Akubra: Traditional australian felt hat
Breakky: Breakfast
Full on: intense, hardcore
Rubbish: trash
Bollocks: BS (lots of Brits use this too)
Skirmish: Paintball
Esky: Cooler or Refridgerator
For-deen: Fourteen
Cheers: Thanks
No Worries: Your Welcome

You can find other Aussie terms in books- but these things we heard the whole time we were there. It's legit.

We will spend the next 7 days island hopping on the Yasawa island chain (part of Fiji). Fiji is actually an archipelago (meaning many islands) and Yasawa refers to grouping of some of those islands.

There's rumors of a coup with the army and the government over here but appears to by hype from the media. I will advise if Andy needs to fly some Marine Corps helicoptersover from Djbouti to rescue us.
