Can't be an Indigenous language to many to choose from, there is over 300 Aboriginal nations.

Bludgie: a partner who doesn't work, but is kept as a pet.

Dodgeridoo: a fake indigenous artefact.

Fair drinkum: good-quality Aussie wine.

Flatypus: a cat that has been run over by a vehicle.

Mateshit: all your flat mate's belongings, lying strewn around the floor

Shagman: an unemployed male, roaming the Australian bush in search of sexual activity.

Yabble: the unintelligible language of Australian freshwater crustaceans

Bushwanker: a pretentious drongo, who reckons he's above average when it comes to handling himself in the scrub. :lol:

Australia does not have a second language; in fact, she doesn't even have an official first language.
Wikipedia.

It is commonly accepted that English is Australia's de facto "official language", since there is nothing in her legislation which grants it "first language" status. And in case you were wondering, Australia has no state religion.
