oooooooh.......looks like you've stumbled across Australia's dirty little secret that they would rather the rest of just didn't know about.
I hope this helps:

oh, BTW........when attempting a spanking on a drop bear, it is advisable to wear a bomb disposal suit along with a chain mail glove for your spanking hand.
spank quickly.....ONCE, and get the hell out of there!

Good God! You've brought back some horrifying memories for me here I must say! 
I've spent many a sleepless night out camping in the bush and clutching my torch tightly in white knuckled hands all because of my fear of being pounced on by a Drop Bear! Vicious little mongrels they are too. They hide up in trees and leap on you when you walk by at night. Contrary to what people may say they look like, no one knows because no one's every survived being attacked by one. I wouldn't even THINK about trying to spank one of these suckers either, unless you wanted this to be a parting gesture before you DIE. I'm not aware of them existing anywhere outside of Australia.

If I'd encountered one I wouldn't be here to tell you about them! 
My exposure to them was knowing they might drop out of a tree any minute and spending every waking moment in FEAR at the very thought! Apparently they're always moving around in stealth mode and make little sound or none at all. They forage for human flesh and if that's not available, they'll go for any mammal that's not too hairy, which doesn't leave much choice other than waiting patiently for a human unfortunately. If I somehow managed to take a picture with a zoom lens camera (No one ever has) it would probably be impossible to make out the drop bear because my hands would be shaking so much and the pic would be blurry.

You can always ask your Aussie friend on-line to explain.
Personally, I've never heard of the term.
Let us know when you find out.
