'Strine' is a vernacular language spoken in which country?

Australian English is similar to British English but has its own colourful vernacular, called ‘strine’ (from the way ‘Australian’ is pronounced with a heavy Australian accent), thrown in for good measure. 'Strine' (also called Ozspeak) is Australia’s greatest creative product and is full of abbreviations, hyperbole, profanities, vulgar expressions and word-tweaking. 'Strine' is the language of a rebellious subculture and has its origins in the Cockney (London) and Irish slang of the early convicts. The use of 'strine' and slang words varies with the state or region. The Australian language also includes many words adopted from Aboriginal languages.

Australians often cannot decide whether to use American or British spelling (e.g. program/programme, labor/labour, etc.) and consequently misspellings abound. In everyday use, many words have a completely different meaning in Australia than they do in other English-speaking countries, such as crook (ill), game (brave), globe (light bulb), knock (criticise), ringer (top performer), shout (round of drinks) and tube (can of beer).
