These bonza fine art prints were released as part of Ruby Mackinnon's 2018 exhibition Colourful Language, exploring favourite Aussie expressions of praise, banter, and mateship. Australian slang is also known as 'strine', and its mysteries are learned by Aussies from the cradle. Having said that, 'strine' is so weird even Aussies are perplexed by it sometimes. 

Ruby Mackinnon's joyful prints bring a splash of Australian exuberance to any home and make a ripper gift to celebrate special occasions.
