Page "Australian English" Paragraph 13

Where British and American vocabulary differs, Australians sometimes favour an Australian usage, as with footpath ( for US sidewalk, UK pavement ) or capsicum ( for US bell pepper, UK sweet pepper ).

In other instances, it either shares a term with American English, as with truck ( UK: lorry ) or eggplant ( UK: aubergine ), or sometimes with British English, as with mobile phone ( US: cell phone ) or bonnet ( US: hood ).
