One tip is not to practice too hard. Remember that "retrine" means
"making an effort", as in, speaking Strine without retrine.

Thanks everyone.

Had a great day yesterday. The ceremony at Hornsby council was very enjoyable and done with welcoming and plenty of Aussie good humour. Also learned how to apply vegemite properly

ps I decided to keep my avatar as it is following the recent Lions rugby tour results
