Is it true that people speak Australian language In Australia, and it's very difficult,?

so one day American tourist was absolutely confused, because when he arrived to Sydney, he could not find his hotel, as he was shown a mirrored sign in the department store across the road which read kraP ttayH yendyS, and he could not read Australian, and whenver he asked what kraP ttayH yendyS was, he received shrugs and "no speake Englese", and he had to spend three nights in Sydney park, on a bench, and heard most appalling sounds, coming from the bushes, and he thought that it might have been a stray Bunyip, when a friendly policeman explained to him, that, in translation from mirrored to English kraP ttayH yendyS means Park Hyatt Sydney (and not what he though, especially "krap") , so he (the tourist, not the policeman) moved in, took the first shower in many nights and forswore to go out without a phrase book and a hired guide?
Additional Details
I just wanted to know if it was true. It was in the papers.

But Why??

yeah it is true. It was reported in the Courier Mail yesterday.

Was the policeman from the Village People though? I saw a bloke in that same park in YENDYS one time who came up to me and said" young man I know where you can get a good meal", I said where? He said YMCA and started dancing and nearby construction workers joined in.
I have to admit I did also see ruffling coming from those same bushes and heard weird noises.

Still fishing and reeling 'em in, I see.

"American tourist was absolutely confused", are you sure that wasn't George Bush? He always looks absolutely confused and utterly perplexed by everything.

When the First Fleet arrived in Australia there were about 250 languages here with, perhaps, a thousand dialects of those. These were languages as different as English, French, Arabic and Swahili. Since Europeans arrived, about 150 of those languages are now extinct and of the rest only about 50 are spoken regularly. In northern Australia, English is usually the third or fourth language for Aboriginal people. They speak their own language and know the neighbouring language before they learn English.

I lived in australia for 7 months... they speak english but have their very on slang haha it can get quite confusing sometimes especially when they've had a few drinks... Depending where you go in australia the thickness of their accent changes too..

its not difficult!!!it is just the accent which is a litlle changed!!!!!


Peter + Maria
no way!!!they just have a really different accent.they took the English language and they used it for centuries,being separated from the rest English-speaking countries.so they evolved it differently.change is inevitable.

The official language of Australia is english unless you are talking about some of the Abboriginie dialects, but even most of the Aboriginies speak english.
