(Saw this in The Living Church):
A bunch of Aussies have spent the day at the beach. They wind up in someone's backyard and the barbecue is fired up. Later, over a cold can or a cup of tea, one bloke starts telling stories. They are some of the best known and best loved stories in the world; stories that have been told on every continent on earth; that have been circling the world for 2,000 years. They are stories about the carpenter who changed history, but this time those stories are re-told in real, fair dinkum, Aussie English!
Where did The Aussie Bible come from?
The Aussie Bible was first broadcast as a series of radio talks by Kel Richards on Sydney's 103.2FM. Kel wrote the series after reading about a Cockney version of the Bible and realising Australians deserved their own copy of the story of Jesus.

1. Promised
The Old Testament part of the Bible is filled with promises that God’s appointed Ruler and Rescuer of Planet Earth (the Promised One) would come at a time of God’s own choosing. Jesus fulfilled all those promises.
Luke 2:25-32
Now there was an old codger in Jerusalem named Simeon who was a dead-set good bloke. He was waiting for the coming of the king God had promised yonks ago. God’s Spirit had given him the nod that he wouldn’t tumble off the twig until he’d seen him. And God’s Spirit gave him the whisper that he should go to the Temple that day, so, when Mary and Joe arrived with their baby, Jesus, Simeon was there. He said, “Can I have a nurse of the bub?” And as he took him in his arms he said, “Dear God, now I can die a happy bloke—I have seen the Promised One, just as you said I would. I have seen the One who is your Rescue Mission to the world. He will be a lighthouse—a spotlight—and by this light people from all over the shop will see how terrific you are.”
