"Going to the countryside" sounds really posh to Americans and "Going bush" sounds like a slang for going naked lol. I also find it hilarious that we say, "Going camping." I guess that the english word "camp" comes from the Spanish word "campo" (which means countryside.) I'll translate your sentence to American slang (why not?) :P "This afternoon, me and my buddy are going (or "gonna go") camping and gonna pack a sandwich and have a smoke before we go. Might need to stop at a gas station (or "convenience store") on the way."

So like the australians often shorten out the actual word to something that sounds pretty cool - like arvo for afternoon, sanga for sandwich, servo for service station etc.

wow, even more interesting O_O

@@juanmanuelmoramontes3883 Actually, you can hear the difference between how "here" is pronounced in RP and Australian accent. I find the Australian accent seems to be more open in terms of their final vowels especially in words that end in "r" or rhotic sound. Compare how someone might pronounce "teacher" between RP and an Aussie accent. The Aussie slang will sound more Cockney than RP.

I chuckled when Emma commented about adding an "O" to words. In the States, the trend is to add "ie" to words; Giftie (a gift), Drumie (Chicken leg), hoodie (a coat with a hood), and so on. Just sounds like "nails on a chalk board" to the ear.
