I asked the same question by mail to Yorick about a month ago,
and here is his answer :
>Fair dinkum is an Australian term for truth. Depending on the context it can
>be substituted for "Your kidding?"
>"The genuine article" or even "Honest".
>"The waves were six foot? Fair dinkum?"
>"This is fair dinkum leather mate"
>or
>"You didn't steal his wallet? I don't think you're being fair dinkum..."
>I put it as my signature as a sort of secret handshake hello to other
>Australians as it's very common here but unused elsewhere. It screams "I'm
>Australian".
