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.

some of those are a bit out dated, but it will give them a laugh if you use them.

I won't be seeing any of them face to face any time soon, but maybe I'll use that one on the phone.

Joff: Thanks mate! >_<

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