An unsung Aussie Zen master is Robert Treborlang, who wrote "Australian Zen". Here are a couple of exerpts, showing that the Noble Eightfold Path and the Ten Precepts are to be found in everyday Australian life.

The Noble Eightfold Righteous Path
Right of way; right as rain; too right; dead right; about right; sitting right; bang to rights; and she'll be right.

The Ten Noble Precepts
Not to cadge; not to dob; not to big note yourself; not to bung it on; not to put the bite on; not to cause problems; not to whinge; not to crawl; not to have tickets on yourself; and not to buzz around like a blue-arsed fly.
