Aussie/New Zealand phrases?

List some of your favorite Aussie and NZ phrases here. Two of mine:

- Send you round the twist (drive you crazy)
- Like making love to your sister (something that is easy)
Additional Details
A few kangs loose in the top paddock - that's awesome. Love that one...

Some of the others I thought of (from a recent trip down under - you can tell me if people were BSing me)

- He's away with the fairies - absent minded or scatterbrained
- Thick as a couple of short planks - stupid
- shaking hands with unemployed - male urination

Reading everyone's responses really made my day. Thanks.

Spit the dummy: get very upset at something.

Ridgy-didge : original, genuine

You little ripper! : Exclamation of delight or as a reaction to good news

Stone the crows! Shock at something

Well, I`m an Aussie, and I love fair dinkum - genuine or true

Bloody oath - I agree

Top of the wozza - the best
