There was a pop song doing the rounds when I was a kid, about a sheila (and her friends) outside a milk bar fending off the clumsy attempts a yob was making at chatting her up, and right now I can only remember the first line of the chorus, which went "Rack off Normie, you and yer mates!"
It may well be a solely Aussie, or Aussie+Kiwi, phrase, for all I know.
(But I think most Aussies these days would simply say what you'd say, Glen. Aussie English is disappearing very rapidly.)
