In Brisbane, the most common way I had been greeted with was, "Hey mate, how're you doing?". Much of the time, I didn't even know the name of this "mate". It could be quite weird, but as the friendly gesture was such an extension of the overall amiability of the whole society, soon it had to be accepted.
Another trademark was "no worries", a simple yet strong expression of the Aussie's laid back nature.
