ORIENT LINE TO AUSTRALIA ADVERTISING POSTER - 1906

Australian History Aussie Slang of the day - todays word is: Bludger. Beginning as London criminal slang from ‘bludgeoner’ (recorded from 1856), bludger meant a pimp who bludgeons (beats with a stick) prostitutes’ clients to rob them. Bludger faded from use in London, but made its way to the Australian colony, where it’s recorded from 1882. By 1900 it had become a general term of abuse, especially for a lazy loafer. About the same time, the back formation ‘bludge’ arose, meaning ‘to evade one’s own responsibilities and impose on others’ and which is now also a blue-collar worker’s term for anyone who sits comfortably behind a desk. The Americans and others have since borrowed it— but this is our word.

MAIL COACH CROSSING THE BLUE MOUNTAINS -1850’s

Australian History Morning Aussie Slang - todays word is: Brown sandwich A “brown sandwich” – it’s a bottle of beer.

Sergeant Spencer Gwynne of the 10th Light Horse Regiment sitting on his horse as it lies on the ground in Palestine during WW1. Many soldiers from the light horse regiments taught their horses to lie down, which was a very useful form of protection if caught in the open under fire from an enemy. I was taken aback at first when I saw the soldier sitting on the horse as it lies on the ground... until I read they taught the horse to do this. At first I thought the horse had died. This is a very memorable photograph. On the Western Front during WW1, I have read that the life of a horse was more valuable than a soldier's life. Lest We Forget.
