AUSTRALIAN SONGS
Deck the Sheds
Christmas in Australia is hot, hot, hot. While it may be snowing in other parts of the world, it's summertime here! So with a bit of humour and a snag on the barbie, we'll sing the Aussie version of the traditional song Deck the Halls.
What the words mean
- Wattle - Australian tree with yellow flowers
- Gum leaves - Eucalyptus tree leaves; favourite food of koalas
- Sundies - Sunday
- Decos - short for decorations
- Ripper - good
- G'day - an Aussie hello
- Relies - short for relatives
- Oldies - parents, grandparents
- Barbie - barbecue
- Ercky - not feeling very well
