G'day Murray and BSeed,

I don't think the rain (roughly what West Coast Tasmanians call "dry Rain" ... because they let the kids stay out in it) is only an excuse. Since Macquarie Uni puts out its own dictionary, generally held to be the official dictionary of Australian English, they don't keep a copy of Oxford's 'Australian National Dictionary' on their shelves!

Fortunately I do.

Regards,

Bob Bolton
