Australian

There are always differences in languages. There are some words in "Australian" I see a lot here on the forum of which I don't know the meaning. Maybe it's time for an explanation for non Australians? I've got 2 words I've been dying to know what it is. The first one is doona. Many people keep looking for it, but can't seem to find the right size for it on markets. Must be some kind of bed cover, I think, but am not sure.
The other one is stubby holder. Must be very imortant in Australia, but I have no idea what it is. In the dictianary it says short and fat, but what is it for?
Btw, I'm Dutch
Any other typical words I should know what it is?

Cheers
