The use of the pronoun 'she' is common in 

Australian speech in phrases where the 

pronoun 'it' is standard in other varieties

 of English. Other phrases such as 

"She's apples" and "She's sweet" 

indicate the same sense of all is going well.

ARVO

Afternoon, as in "See you Saturday arvo." 

It is often used in the phrase 'this arvo', 

which is sometimes shortened to 'sarvo' - 

"meet you after the game, sarvo." 

Arvo is an example of a special feature of Australian English, 

the habit of adding -o to an abbreviated word. 

Other such words are 'bizzo' (business) and 'journo' (journalist).
