Details have been revealed about new Prime Minister Scott Morrison's 'very warm' chat on the phone with Donald Trump.
He has spent the first 24 hours in the top job speaking with several world leaders, including the US President, who called to congratulate.
The Cronulla-based politician invited Mr Trump to Australia during the friendly conversation.
The president hasn't visited Australia since taking office.
I did tell him I was a rubbish golfer,' Mr Morrison told The Sunday Telegraph.
I am not quite sure that term is well known in the US so there are other phrases I have and I'll have to be careful of using Shire-colloquialisms in international engagements.'
He also told the publication his daughters Lily, 9 and Abbey, 11 were excited to hear that their dad would be talking to the president on Saturday.
Mr Morrison has also spoken with Indonesian President Joko Widodo and New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern.
His phone call with Trump fared better than the first conversation then prime minister Malcolm Turnbull had when Mr Trump was elected president in late 2016.
Mr Trump famously hung on Mr Turnbull and later publicly described it 'the worst call by far' he had had with a world leader.
Mr Morrison tweeted that he had shared the story of ANZAC hero Leslie 'Bull' Allen when the president called, as a symbol of 100 years of mateship with the US.
