Jindabyne - Aussie Slang (Work/Business)

After hitting 38C (100F) yesterday and 36C (97F) today, we are supposed to cool down to a high of 19C (66F) tomorrow and 12C (54F) on Tuesday. Welcome to mountain weather. I’ll take the atmospheric whiplash if it means we’ll have better sleeping weather for the next few nights.

And now for another taste of Aussie slang, this time on the subject of work/business:

hard yakka (hard work)
bottle shop (liquor store)
panel beaters (auto body repair shop)
truckie (truck driver)
tradie (tradesman)
sparkie (electrician)

The flowers around the lake are in full bloom. Here are a couple of pics:
