    When it was cold the monkey would shrink at a lower temp than the balls and the balls would be too big for the monkey and therefore fall off of it.

    Arnotts used to sell biscuits in tins, with a macaw (type of parrot) label on the lid. The cockie was always on the outside and couldn't get the biscuits inside.

    another one, or two.

    When something has gone wrong somewhere: "things are crook in Tullorook".

    "Beauty bonza" for excellent.

    "Give us a gander" for let me have a look.

    "Strike a light" for thats a good idea.

    "put a block in the hole" for shut the door.

    "were you brought up in a tent" ditto.

    "do the block" for tour the Aust mainland,
    and also for getting mad at someone or something.

    "he's the ant's pants" to describe someone as ideal.

    Also "bee's knees" and "duck's guts".
