Nice work, although I'm not sure if splintering the English community into 
different dialects is a good idea. Wouldn't it be better to work on a single 
en_GB translation? One comprehensive translation is preferable to a dozen 
half-complete ones, IMHO, most English variants are essentially identical or 
very similar to en_GB, and en_AU is not an exception.

BTW, if memory serves me correctly, I am responsible for renaming "Trash" 
to "Garbage Bin". "Rubbish Bin" would be an acceptable alternative.
