Introducing My New Australiana Design: Aussie Slang in the Shape of Australia
G’day, mates! I’m thrilled to introduce the latest addition to my Australiana collection — a design that truly captures the heart and humor of Australia. This new piece, now available on TeePublic and Redbubble, features a collection of funny Aussie slang and sayings, all cleverly arranged to form the iconic shape of Australia. Whether you’re a true blue Aussie or just love a good laugh, this design is sure to bring a smile to your face.
The Inspiration Behind the Design
Australia is known for its unique and often hilarious slang, so I wanted to create a design that celebrates this quirky aspect of our culture. Using Procreate, I started by selecting a bunch of classic Aussie sayings and arranged them into the shape of Australia. Each phrase is written in a different font, adding variety and playfulness to the overall design. The colours? They’re inspired by the Australian flag, of course! The mix of blue, white, and red gives the design a patriotic flair, making it perfect for anyone who wants to wear their Aussie pride on their sleeve—or wall!
The Sayings
Here’s the slang and sayings that made the cut:
- “A few tinnies short of a block”
- “Flat out like a lizard drinking”
- “Fair dinkum”
- “Bonza”
- “Got a screw loose”
- “My shout”
- “True blue”
- “Ridgey didge”
- “Spit the dummy”
- “Strewth”
- “Sober as a judge”
- “G’day”
Each phrase has been carefully selected to represent the humor and spirit of Australia. Whether you’ve got a screw loose or ready to spit the dummy, having a “fair dinkum” day or feeling “flat out like a lizard drinking,” there’s a saying here for every situation.
Where to Find It
This design is now available on TeePublic and Redbubble, where you can find it on a range of products including t-shirts, hoodies, stickers, and more. Whether you’re looking for a unique gift for a mate or just want to add a touch of Australiana to your own collection, there’s something for everyone.

In addition to being available online, I’ll be making prints and greeting cards featuring this design. These will be available at my pop-up shop at the Crooked Carrot Café in Myalup, Western Australia. If you’re in the area, be sure to drop by and check out the full collection in person.

Australia’s culture is rich with humor, and our slang is a big part of what makes us unique. This design is a fun way to celebrate that, bringing together some of the best-loved Aussie sayings into one cool and creative piece.
