I could sum up all the differences between Australian, British and American English for you, but the difference is significant enough to publish a separate dictionary
For 'lorry'; yes it is in both dictionaries, but I bet you the word 'gobsmacked' isn't and there are plenty of other unique words..
The publishers of dictionaries certainly think so!
