Australian English includes some words that are uniquely Australian, and others that come from the English spoken in other parts of the world, particularly North America and Great Britain. In the dialogue you can see a few of these. See some of the equivalents below:
Australian English | British English | American English |
Petrol | Petrol | Gas |
Servo (short for service station) | Stesen minyak petrol | Stesen gas |
Ride or lift (taking someone by car) | Lift | Ride |

They are all perfectly fine to use!!
