e.g. "Maningrida traffic, Cessna 206 UBP, 15 miles southeast, inbound. Circuit at 58. Maningrida".

Although introduced in 2005 and unchanged today, it is extremely rare to hear a pilot make a broadcast that is exactly in accord with this format. I am beginning to think the correct format is beyond the language skills of 98% of NTA frequenting Australian pilots, but that should be the subject of some other thread.
Not here it's not.......I try really hard to make sure i get these clear concise and correct. In fact I was given a score of 8.5 just the other day, by a local smarty pants for my inbound call. He knows how much I hate it when these local wally's can't even get the simple things right.

Mind you ATC might not score me so high some days

So I would agree..........its not that hard.
