In Tamania, a creek is also a "crick" to the oldtimers. I hadn't heard that particular expression before moving here from Queensland. Another Tasmanian gem is to call anyone who is a bit eccentric, odd, different, quaint etc. a "rum 'un". Again, an expression not widely used in the rest of Australia. One of my personal favourites is "to get up at sparrow fart" meaning very early in the morning!! Thankgoodness it's only sparrows and not something a lot bigger!!
