Very dully normal. As in, "it was a bog* standard week."
Although I heard this precise phrase spoken by a very genuine Australian this morning, it was later called into dispute by another very genuine Australian who had never heard it.
And there you have it: a bog standard post.
*Bog has multiple meanings in Australian, but we remain unsure whether the intention in this phrase is closer to "swamp" or "toilet."

Good call, thanks!
Closer to "swamp" than "toilet".
