Somebody has had "more starts than Phar Lap" is one fo my faves.
This is usually used in a negative sense, eg somebody has had heaps of jobs etc.
Having "a head like a bashed crab" is another, unflattering remark.
As is "as ugly as a hatful of a#$%holes".
"As useful as an ashtray on a motorbike?"
"Couldn't organise a beer in a brewery, or a r#$% in a brothel."
I remember someone asking me about my thongs last year when I went to Perth. I had to explain that thongs in UK are something totally different to what they are there.
Somebody is "a snag short of a barbie(BBQ)" is another one.
A snag is Austalian slang for a sausage.
The above saying means that somebody is "not the full quid", or "not all there", ie they are either simple or verging on mad.
See:
The "bottleo" is often used for the bottle shop, or grog shop.

Bludger is actually a word that originated in the UK...
