The Tardis materialises in the outback town of Didjabringyabeeralong... The Doctor and Clara step out of The Tardis...
"Strewth!... what the fuck is that mate?... it's a bloody ripper!"... says the local colourful character... "who makes it mate?... Holden or Ford?... it better be a Holden or I'll get a drop bear to shit on ya!"...
"what a strange man!" says The Doctor... "come on Clara... back in The Tardis... it's time to go fight some Daleks!"...
The Doctor and Clara return to The Tardis and it dematerialises...
"Darlecks?... what da fuck are Darlecks???"... says the local colourful character... "that don't sound like a Holden or Ford... probably some crappy little Japanese shitbox!"...

...as with the Americans I think that the British would probably go for the standard stereotypical 'fair dinkum Aussie' to be in the show using words like strewth/fair dinkum/knoath/rippa etc to convey the Australian presence lol!... maybe Moffats writers might be more sophisticated than that but still... cheers.

I always liked the idea of Aussie Daleks

"ALL BOGANS MUST DIE"
"THE DOCTOR BURNT THE SNAGS, THE DOCTOR MUST DIE"
