I appreciate the concern which is been rose. The things need to be sorted out because it’s not about the individual but it can be with everyone.

I'm not so sure about all of these.
What, for example, is the longer form of "kelpie"?
The origin of "brumby" is uncertain, but at least one possibility is that it was from a proper name, Brumby, and another is that it has Aboriginal origins, baroombie – so again, not really a shortening, and the "-ie" sound already present.
"Esky" is a shortening from eskimo, I guess, but the "-ie" sound already present, not added. That's probably borderline, in that it would have been adopted as a brandname to appeal to the Aussie tendency.

In the end, I'm putting anything on this list that has one of the said endings and sounds typically Australian, regardless of how the morphology came to be.

I notice you're missing bikkie. (Not entirely sure if it qualifies though.)

You're better at this than me. I hereby confer upon you honorary citizenship and a bag of flies.

Dinky ('cause we all had one) and bluey (for all of us rangas). Cluey ('cause we're clever) and pissy ('cause we like a schooie!!).

Aw, thanks bilby! That's very kind.
Um... is "a bag of flies" some sort of Australian slang?

No, it's some sort of curse, but there's no reason you should escape now you're one of us.

Poor creature--I didn't think you'd get swats on the nose so often that you'd be used to them.

Nah, it's not a word Australians use although we understand it well enough. I'll see yarb's butty and raise him a sammie.
