I've only just started watching, and... I think I'd have to switch the Australian part of my brain off when playing this, really. I've never heard "dinky-di" pronounced like "dinkee dee" and I've lived in Australia my whole life. It's always "dinkee die". Not that it's used especially often anymore; not in my lifetime. Also no-one calls it "gas" here; it's petrol. I have to admit though that "guzzolene" is too fitting a term for the Mad Max universe to give up for the sake of accuracy. What Yapo said about constantly getting into the car on the wrong side; that's me in basically all games with vehicles since they usually follow the left-hand-drive convention. Maybe I should get this game just so I'm instinctively getting in on the correct side, for once.

I'm still catching up, but on "you've got balls the size of boojums"; I've never heard that term before. I'm pretty sure it's not an Australian slang term. It seems like there's a few things it could be, but who knows what the writer had in mind. Maybe it was the boojum tree, since it's a desert plant? They're apparently only really found in California though... definitely not Australia. I'm starting to think the writers of this computer game may not actually know anything about Australia.  Whatever though; I went and bought the game the other day, largely on the strength of this LP. Also it was on sale for five dollars, so hey, why not?
