(Australia, colloquial) goodbye.
Tooraloo is an Irish and Australian informal farewell expression meaning goodbye or cheerio — a warm, informal parting word. As a verb it can also mean to express something in song, trilling in a light manner. The Irish and Australian usage as a goodbye follows the tradition of musical or nonsense syllables being repurposed as social phrases. It carries a light, cheerful register — not a solemn farewell but the kind of thing you say to someone you'll see again soon.
(UK, Ireland, Commonwealth, dated) goodbye, farewell, see you soon.
(AU, slang) Good.
