AUSTRALIAN SONGS

Deck the Sheds

traditional Australian song, composer unknown

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
