I have not heard an australian utter these phrases as yet,except in a mocking sense of their culture.I will teach you an interesting fact about Australia...There will never,ever be a revolution in this country due to it's laid back attitude"no worries,She'll be right"Picture this scenario,an angry mob about to lay seige to the nation's capital postpone their revolt due to unforeseen circumstance;their leader was given a last minute invitation to a mate's BBQ..?

I meet a few Australians and never heard them say those line but they did use No worries quite often.

Yes, they do. I saw one say both of those things (consecutively) on TV.

Ok. So its only ex-pat Australians who say this? The two I know have one of these phrases come out of their mouths at least once an hour. UPDATE: Numbah, Canadians of a certain age, or certain parts of the country regularly say eh. Nowhere near as prevalent as it used to be.

Never heard the phrases used by a real Aussie, but Canadians really say EH.
