Good luck for 7 years

It's good luck for 7 years if a scrub/bush turkey crosses your path (I just made that up). These turkeys are funny creatures, they are amazing because on their first day of life they are capable of killing prey for food. They are also quite a part of Brisbane because they just pop up all over the place, all over the city. They can be seen everywhere, streets, parks, shops, near the beach, crossing the road. Generally they are running somewhere. They also ruin gardens with their amazing nests which is hilarious and cute unless it's your garden. Personally I would love to either tame one and keep it as a pet, which is impossible because of their nature, or try eating one just once. The Aboriginals used to eat them after all...

Polly want a cracker? (and a slab and perhaps a small sherry?)

This is in a bottlo. According to the Urban Dictionary, bottlo is Australian slang for a business establishment that sells products of alcoholic content. 

Usage: "Oi, pick us up a case at the bottlo."

Case may be replaced with carton or slab or box depending on regional variations but means a carton of beer or cider or something.
