gold coin
1. $1 or $2 coin
2. gold coin donation
Lots of charity events and amateur sporting events have "gold coin donation" on their flyers and adverts and there's someone at the gate with a bucket for you to chuck your gold coin into. Not chucking in a gold coin is considered stingy (pronounced stin-jee) and the person not chucking it in is a bloody mongrel.
goolies
family jewels, groin
gorn
go on
Usage example: Yelled at strippers by straight blokes in pubs, "Gorn! Show us yer map of Tassie!"
goss
gossip, skinny, info, news
So "Gimme the goss" means "What's the skinny?".
grog
booze, alcohol
Usage example:
Davo: "Hey, Simmo, how are ya?"
Simmo: "Orright. Whatcha up to?"
Davo: "Gotta pop in the bottle shop for some grog for the barbie."
grundies
undies, underwear, knickers, jocks, pants
Australian rhyming slang. Reg Grundy (TV producer or summat) + undies = grundies.

What about bashing ("There was a bashing today outside the Opera House" - newsreaders elsewhere would probably say assault), also bludge, bludger, bludging?
