Publican's Verandah
Right off the bat you will note that Australians spell the word differently by adding an ‘h’. A verandah is a covered gallery often found surrounding the second story of Australian pubs. A publican is a person who owns a pub (hotel) a very popular trade in Australia. Therefore a publican’s verandah is the gallery or in more colloquial terms it refers to the huge stomach many publicans have due to excessive consumption of beer.
