Not a bad attempt, Sneak, but it has a touch of the contriveds about it.
Apart from that - "back blocks" doesn't really crack a guernsey in the venacular; "niggly" certainly doesn't; "barnie" does, but it's spelled "barney", and "stink" is probably a better choice anyway; and "thick ear" is used more as a perjorative - as in, "talk about a thick-ear", meaning someone of not only low IQ, but anti-intellectual. And "tinnies" is hardly ever used, except by "thick ears". "Veged out" - well, it's acceptable.
My favourites, as I think I've posted before, are the old rural expressions - "Windy enough to blow a dog off its chain" and "So hungry I could eat a horse and chase the rider".
