There is a rich lode of Australian anecdotes, strong on the vernacular, pertaining largely to who said what to whom, as in exchanges heard on frequency (or off it, as the case may have been). Or the odd PA that spoke of a strong individualism now gone west in these days of "careful what you say".
e.g. Laconic old DC-3 skipper giving PA on the TAA Channel Services run in outback Queensland - "We'll be putting into Charleville shortly. Out the window to our right is Blackall. But out to the left you'll see F+++ All ."
A hostie on one of those flights, a very turbulent one, later retrieved from an old 44 behind a hangar that was for rubbish, a passenger's missing dentures. He had failed to retrieve them himself from the sick-bag into which he lost his breakfast.
