English is a language that has been pieced from others over time, to form the patchwork construction it has today. Not to mention the side tracking it has done with various dialects. For every rule there is an exception. Australians are fond of idioms, such as pig's flying (unlikely), Hold your horses-pull your head in,(don't rush in) Forty winks.(sleep) Not always particularly Australian, but often used in common speech which can be confusing for visitors.
The best thing about idioms is that there is a story behind them that makes them interesting and easer to remember. While it is complicated, English is colorful.
I'm not sure it's been learned completely by any English speakers.

Many of those aren't idioms, but aphorisms.

Just FYI
