LOL, as a qualified Australian, let me translate this one:
A VW Kombi van is the Australian poor man's road trip vehicle of choice. "Fried out" means that it's in really poor condition and overheating.
"Zombie" is marijuana, though some other people claim it's other drugs.
The thunder refers to both Australia's tropical storminess, and also to the awesomeness of the people/country (like footsteps, ie: we're coming! Better take cover!)
Vegemite is the national sandwich spread, made from yeast extract (beer scum, kind of). Usually only Australians can stand the taste (I eat it from the jar, haha), so eating a Vegemite sandwich is a good way to prove you're an Aussie (it's our secret "language" overseas).
To "Chunder", in Australian slang, is to puke. So, they're saying we get drunk and barf a lot, which...is true. Ahem.
And of course, Australia is the land down under all the other countries. Hence, the land down under.

@archer1203 it uses both words ... chunder refers to throwing up (usually in context of spewing because of drinking too much)
