Strine.......no I'm joking.

But the Australian version of English can be a bit puzzling for others when we include a lot of slang (which is most of the time!)

Seriously though I find it a bit embarrassing or even shameful that the majority of Australians only speak English. It is only those who have migrated here or have parents who migrated here that speak another language - and that could be anything from Greek to Mandarin, and aboriginal australians who speak their local tribal language/dialect and also English.
