Question 1 of 10
1. America has World Wrestling Entertainment where large men grope each other in a blatantly homoerotic manner. Greece and Rome are home to the eponymous Greco-Roman wrestling where large (or sometimes small) men also grope each other in a blatantly homoerotic manner. What is Australia's national wrestling-oriented sport? Hint


Question 2 of 10
2. Every Australian you meet is lucky to be alive. Foreigners are lucky to survive their holidays here. There are just too many deadly creatures in this country of many shapes and sizes. If you go to any Australian beach and go swimming, what creature is more than likely to attack you and, at the very least, rip off a leg or two? Hint


Question 3 of 10
3. Don't be surprised if you're walking down the streets of Australia and someone tries to steal your wallet. After all, we're a nation of criminals because many of our ancestors were what? Hint


Question 4 of 10
4. In Australia we love barbecues. Because of our gorgeous weather we often prefer to head 'al fresco' and add a nice coating of charcoal to whatever meat is available. What would you rarely, if ever, see on an Australian barbecue? Hint


Question 5 of 10
5. This word is added to the end of many sentences that an Australian utters. It is a word that to other English-speaking persons in the world actually means a sexual partner. We don't go in for those backdoor shenanigans here, though. What is this word? Hint


Question 6 of 10
6. If you're in Australia and you want to travel vast distances into the outback, what is the most convenient mode of transport, according to the stereotype? Hint


Question 7 of 10
7. What part of Australia is large, red, barren, dry and, in the imagination of some German backpackers, about half-an-hour's drive from the centre of Sydney? Hint


Question 8 of 10
8. Probably because we have no water, Australia being a continent of deserts, Australians drink only one thing. And, what's more, we have the largest containers of it in the world. Homer Simpson found this out. What beverage is this and what brand do we all drink? Hint


Question 9 of 10
9. Which of the following is not a group of venomous Australian creatures? Hint


Question 10 of 10
10. As all overseas people know, Australians are pretty dumb, even stupid. It's a good thing no-one remembered to tell us, though. Which of these lists of inventions is the one that entered the world without the help of an Australian? Hint

Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. America has World Wrestling Entertainment where large men grope each other in a blatantly homoerotic manner. Greece and Rome are home to the eponymous Greco-Roman wrestling where large (or sometimes small) men also grope each other in a blatantly homoerotic manner. What is Australia's national wrestling-oriented sport?

Answer: Crocodile wrestling

No closeted homoeroticism here, just hard Aussie toughness. Australians, of course, learn the art of crocodile wrestling from their fathers shortly after they learn to crawl. We are sat on our fathers' knees and taught the strength of the choke hold and the art of plunging a dagger through the top of a crocodile's skull like a hot knife through butter.

Then we're shown the video of Hoges doing it to prove it's possible.
2. Every Australian you meet is lucky to be alive. Foreigners are lucky to survive their holidays here. There are just too many deadly creatures in this country of many shapes and sizes. If you go to any Australian beach and go swimming, what creature is more than likely to attack you and, at the very least, rip off a leg or two?

Answer: Great White Shark

We love swimming with sharks so much that we even nicknamed one of our greatest sportsmen of all times after them. Greg Norman is possibly the greatest golfer since Tiger to pull out a wood. Everybody knows that.
3. Don't be surprised if you're walking down the streets of Australia and someone tries to steal your wallet. After all, we're a nation of criminals because many of our ancestors were what?

Answer: Convicts

After the First Fleet landed at Port Jackson in 1788, crime skyrocketed in Australia and it has never come back down again. In Australia in 2001 we had 306 murders. That means that one in every 65,400 of us is killed every year. The odds of surviving in Australia got even slimmer. If the wildlife doesn't get you, the convicts will.
4. In Australia we love barbecues. Because of our gorgeous weather we often prefer to head 'al fresco' and add a nice coating of charcoal to whatever meat is available. What would you rarely, if ever, see on an Australian barbecue?

Answer: Moose

An Australian will barbecue almost anything. We'll throw beef, chicken, lamb, rabbit, pork, fruit, vegetables, eggs and bacon for breakfast, even a roast onto a barbie. What we don't have in Australia is a supply of moose meat so you'll never see a moose steak on an Aussie barbie.
5. This word is added to the end of many sentences that an Australian utters. It is a word that to other English-speaking persons in the world actually means a sexual partner. We don't go in for those backdoor shenanigans here, though. What is this word?

Answer: Mate

"G'day, mate." "Throw another prawn on the barbie, mate." "Chuck us another beer, mate." "Mate. You're my mate, mate." All very valid phrases commonly heard when packs of Aussie men gather together and watch football.
6. If you're in Australia and you want to travel vast distances into the outback, what is the most convenient mode of transport, according to the stereotype?

Answer: Kangaroo

You could ride in an air-conditioned McCaffertys bus or hop on the India-Pacific railway. But, by far the most convenient, comfortable and speedy way to travel anywhere in Australia is by kangaroo. 3,300,000 Aussie schoolkids can't be wrong when they catch their kangaroos to school in the morning.
7. What part of Australia is large, red, barren, dry and, in the imagination of some German backpackers, about half-an-hour's drive from the centre of Sydney?

Answer: The Outback

Actually, in the mind of some German backpackers all of these are only a short drive from the centre of Sydney. The outback is something many Australians have never seen, will never see and even if they did want to see it, wouldn't know where to go to see it and wouldn't be able to see anything if they did because the whole point of seeing it is that there's nothing to see. Do you see? ;)
8. Probably because we have no water, Australia being a continent of deserts, Australians drink only one thing. And, what's more, we have the largest containers of it in the world. Homer Simpson found this out. What beverage is this and what brand do we all drink?

Answer: Beer, Fosters

Aussie babies get Fosters in their bottles rather than milk. Aussie children put Fosters on their cereal in the morning. Aussie athletes drink Fosters rather than sports drinks at half-time of their matches or after their swimming race. Actually Australians rarely drink Fosters. There's not much of it left after shipping it overseas where some people actually like it.
9. Which of the following is not a group of venomous Australian creatures?

Answer: Hoop Snake, Drop Bear, Bunyip

The Bunyip is a creature which is apparently much like a yeti or a bigfoot. The drop bear is a koala-like creature that lives in the tops of trees. When someone passes underneath it drops on top of them using its weight and size to kill them. It then feeds off the person.

The hoop snake has a unique mode of travelling. When at the top of a hill it will take its own tail in its mouth thus making the eponymous hoop. It then rolls down the hill chasing its prey. The easiest way to escape them is to keep to high ground and if one rolls towards you, run diagonally uphill (or at least that's what we tell the tourists!).
10. As all overseas people know, Australians are pretty dumb, even stupid. It's a good thing no-one remembered to tell us, though. Which of these lists of inventions is the one that entered the world without the help of an Australian?

Answer: Beer filtration, meat pies and hats with corks dangling from them

But we're still pretty dumb anyway. Other Australian inventions of note include: the notepad, the electric drill, pre-paid postage, bathing beauty contests, inflatable aircraft escape slides/liferafts (why did we invent these and black boxes when QANTAS has never had a crash?), latex gloves, the automatic letter sorting machine and the automatic totalisator which revolutionised betting on horse races.
