Ahh, OK. No, I got that wrong. I thought it meant like "balancing" but nimble makes more sense. Thanks for that.

And now on to your phrases:

a nod is as good as a wink to a blind horse = ?
(well a blind horse wouldn't see either a nod or a wink so I guess that means they are meaningless ?)

Yes

a bogon = ?
(A bog is a marshy area ... so maybe it means 'travelling over a bog on a sled' - like a toboggan)

no. a bogon describes a person. No idea why, but usually it describes someone who wears their hair in a mullet and has an "attitude". (tell me if you need translation for mullet lol)

bush telegraph = ?
(someone who runs through the bush with a message delivers a 'bush telegraph')

local gossip network

don't come the raw prawn with me = ?
(just don't give me any flack)

Sort of. Yes. Don't try to fool me.

kit and kaboodle = ?
(everything including the kitchen sink)

Yes. Everything

like a two bob watch = ?
(a cheap time piece)

Yes, can mean a watch that doesn't work well or for long, or can describe other things that don't work as well.

you got the rough end of the pineapple = ?
(don't go wearing pineapple bras)

LOL!
A bad deal

true blue = ?
(a friend to the end)

Yes. Genuine

fair dinkum = ?
(being honest and treating someone fairly)[/QUOTE]

Yes. Same... and genuine

You're very good at that, scrabble. I didn't know some of them and I'm a true blue aussie. lol
I heard about the weather. Lots of rain and boiling water? Hope you're using your light (nightlight is it called?) so you can get some benefit from that on the dreary days.
