I actually think that a lot of the colloquialisms that Aussies used to say like G'day, Sheila and Fair Dinkum for example may not be as prevalent in the younger city people.

As to Spunk well yeah, when I moved back to Australia in the early 70's it was a well used word and certainly had a different meaning in the UK
