It would seem not, skysmum. Although I understand the lines can be a bit blurred around the border. The original migrant came from Northumberland. (Under his own steam, not courtesy of HRH. ) I suspect is it more likely a word that appealed to the bushies and so became part of the evolving quirky Aussie slang. So there you go; now I know where it originated from.

I was often called buggerlugs by my Granddad who was a Yorkshire man.
Lovely animals by the way. Do the guinea pigs and rabbit live together?

Yeah they are all together. Rabbit and ginger guinea pig have been together since being very small and I introduced the grey one after about a year! They have little spats but they generally get on! Bit like budgies! ;-)
