Rhyming slang septic tank---> yank a term of endearment probably....
Pom or POHMIE prisoner of her/his majesty in exile i.e "white" Australia was made up of those who went there ti the "new world" because they wanted to... freely..... and those who were sent as prisoners on prison ships, that we in britain didn't want, i.e the judge said go to prison or be sent to Oz
many chose a better life than being stuck in a dank miserable prison in britain
but we are talking a very very long time ago
this resulted in a very very male dominated society with a lack of the ladies about.... however there were a lot of sheep... quite a few who had escaped prison in britain ended up in prison again in Oz
:) ive brought the tone down somewhat...
