Australian National University points to an early use of the greeting 'G'day, in The Romance of a Station:
”An abberviation of good day, the word is recorded from the 1880s.
'He pulled up, nodding to Alec’s 'Good-day, Tillidge', and replying in a short, morose manner, running his words one into the other, as a bushman does, 'G’d-day, sir'.
