        Fun puzzle, good cluing - thanks for the lesson in Australian slang (I hope to pick up more when I'm there in January!).

          Don't forget to pack your budgie smugglers and to slip, slop, slap - the sun here is no joke, mate!

          Hmm, Australians call sausages "snags", and some other people call 'em "hitches"
          I think that would be a reasonable reading of the clue & answer...it's funny no?

            Fair call! I've reworded the clue to be clearer, thanks :)
