I want to throw some at some Austrailian clients of ours who are on the helpdesk rather frequently late nights.

Call everybody mate. If you just met them, call them old mate. Use bloody a few times in a sentence. (In the same way
somebody would use umm.)
When you are done speaking to them say cheers.
Don't say anything about shrimp. We don't eat shrimp, we eat prawns. Also don't speak of fosters. It's the pretend beer that everybody but Australians like.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Australian_slangsome of those are a bit out dated, but it will give them a laugh if you use them.

I say cheers, regardless if who I'm talking to is Australian. It just sounds more polite.
