You shouldn't change anything regarding Australian vernacular. To me, those unique expressions are enjoyable and enlightening. One of my favorites I learned from you: "It's a good job..."

My mother was a fanatic about Austrailian bushland, while my father is from the West, just a bit more modern, but he wasn't raised with running water. Anyway, because of my background, I love both!!! I love the differences and the similarities and think they should be preserved.

It's a big help. I don't agree with keeping the regional spellings. I think that difference would pull the reader out of the story. I know it does me. However, I'd love to read more expressions in Oz-set tales. I'm trying to add a few colorful ones to my WIP...I have a very good friend in Beerwah and I'm always quizzing her for different expressions. Boy howdy, did she send me a very, very colorful list the other day. Yes, it would need editing...lol...Best of luck with your books..
