Somehow you don't come across as Irish - Can you sound Australian in print?

Nope, that's a pure Dub accent coming through, as unique in Ireland as cockney is in England.

So are you suggesting that all Australians came from Dublin originally or that Aussies have adopted the Dublin way of speaking? Funny cos I've never met a Dubliner say that, only Aussies.

Well you certainly must have led a sheltered life.
How-are-you (howaya) or how-are-you-doing (howyadoin) are the standard forms of greeting in the whole of Ireland, not just Dublin.
Nobody, and I mean NOBODY greets another Irish person with "hello" or "good morning" and as for good afternoon, there is no such thing in Ireland, you go straight from morning to evening.

[Millymollymandy]

But do they say Gidday?

Hello

And welcome! I'm quite new too, still finding my way around and I confess finding myself jealous at your plot!! I'm working out of a tiny back garden!
Hope you find friends and questions answered
