Yes I can remember many people using "Deadset" many years ago...
Another very old one, not heard very often these days-
"Good aye old Cock" [males] Never ever heard a female version.. I didn't really like being called that anyway... it was used in female company
too, so it must have been a Common phrase many years ago...

Bummer! As in 'Surf was out today! Wat a bummer dude!
Gromit - was a term i remember using a few years back calling all the new year 8 high school kids gromits
'Lov ya lots like jelly tots!' - was just a saying
'Wat ever tickles your fancy' - another saying that i said to a junior where i use to work and she had to aske me three times wat i'd said bcos
she'd never heard it b4. (plus i've heard altered versions of it just not the original for a white)
'My name's Billy not Silly' - saying used to proclaim one's knowledge 'OH really?! ! ya think im stoopid, nah my name's Billy not Silly'
Having a Captain Cook - having a look (my father says it all the time)
Thats all i can think of for the moment! If i hear anymore i'll post em for yas!
Ciao

A few variations on bettyboops
what ever blows your hair back,
what ever floats your boat,
my name is billy hunt not silly c*&t,
some people are like slinky's
they have no useful purpose
but they are fun to watch
when you push them down the stairs

Regrettably there is a lot of good Australian venacular which has "bitten the dust", especially in the saturating onslaught of vacuous American
kulcha; its enough to make you "decorate the garden" with a "technicolour yodel".
Quite a few of the examples cited above are rhyming slang ("Captain Cook", "China" = "china plate" = mate) which can be traced to Cockney
English.
Up to the end of the '50s Aussie English was pretty well decorated with expressions we don't hear anymore, but with the advent of television they
were suffocated.
