Re: Guppies - I've never heard of this term, but maybe the surfers use it.
Could be another out-of-date term like "cobber" told to visiting tourists...

Who's Paul Hogan ;-) There may be "strines" around who talk like him, but
they seem pretty thin on the ground 'round here. As for Fosters, I guess most
Aussies drink beer of one type or another - I'm not one of them. Can't stand
the stuff!
