'Dinkie' on its own means nothing. It is always accompanied by 'di', as in 'dinkie di', which means genuine, true, real or, also in the Australian vernacular, 'true blue'.

"Dinkie" (on its own) was a term used post WW11 to mean a small metal tricycle usually made of tin with a wooden seat. The term to "dink" someone on your bike still means to carry an extra passenger on your bicycle, but the word "dinkie" is not used.
