...a window covering on rollers that pulls down - blind
...a new, limited access, multi-lane road: huh?
...the area in the house where people usually sit: bedrooms (in my house anyway). Usually a loungeroom

...that knitted pull-over you're wearing: jumper
...those jeans with the bib: dungarees or overalls
...that phone you carry with you: mobile phone
...that hand-held light you keep to scare off the monsters at night? torch
...the front and back of your car? bonnet or hood (front) and boot (back)
...the hair that hangs down over your forehead? fringe
...another word for "butt" - bum
...other names for a toilet - loo (of course the quintessential Aussie word is "dunny" but I don't use it
...a small piece of towel you use to wash your face? - flannel
...the piece of your head the fringe hangs over (spell it like you pronounce it)? - Forehead (pronounced fored)
