Get me some grog

I'm feeling flat. I wonder what to do. Don't any of you pretend that you haven't felt like this on your holidays. This vanilla muffin, covered with icing and jelly bits, should make it pass.
We're in Melbourne, Victoria, population 3 million-ish. Time to brush up on my 'Strine (Australian English):
Billabong: a waterhole
Milk bar: convenience store
Drongo: idiot
Grommet: a young surfer
Pohm (Prisoner of Her Majesty): person from England. Also Pome - Prisoner of Mother England
Esky: cooler
Thongs: flip-flops
