Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Among the letters in SOUTH AUSTRALIA you will find a type of book that will show the location of South Australia. What type of reference book is it?

Answer: atlas

South Australia is the only state that touches every other mainland state. The capital is Adelaide which was settled in 1836 and it is the only state that was NOT settled by convicts.
2. George Harrison, the 'quiet' Beatle, played which instrument in the song 'Norwegian Wood'? It can be found in the letters of SOUTH AUSTRALIA.

Answer: sitar

After the Beatles broke up, George had a huge hit with 'My Sweet Lord'. In 1988, he joined up with some of the world's best-known musos to form the Traveling Wilburys- George Harrison, Tom Petty, Jeff Lynne, Bob Dylan AND Roy Orbison- WOW!

The sitar is an ancient Indian stringed instrument.
3. South Australia is a state of contrasts, from desert to beaches, wine to tuna fishing, and millions of visitors come every year. What are these people called? The answer comes from the letters of SOUTH AUSTRALIA.

Answer: tourists

The Blue Lake (near Mount Gambier) is the remains of an ancient volcano and is found in the south of the state. Lake Eyre, the largest lake in Australia is in the north. The lake is unusual in that it very rarely has any water in it!
4. A person who makes clothes is hiding in SOUTH AUSTRALIA. What is his profession?

Answer: tailor

A tailor is also a species of fish found in South Australian waters.
5. The prime location to see an opera in Adelaide is the Festival Theatre, but I want you tell me the word for an operatic song. It comes from the Italian for 'air' and it can be found in SOUTH AUSTRALIA.

Answer: aria

Webster Dictionary cites an aria as "mostly used for the more elaborate accompanied melodies sung by a single voice, in operas, oratorios, cantatas, anthems, etc., and not so much for simple airs or tunes". This obviously rules out singing in the shower as an example of an aria.
6. What is the largest artery in your body? It runs from your heart to somewhere near your navel and you can find the answer in the letters of SOUTH AUSTRALIA.

Answer: aorta

Like all arteries, the aorta carries oxygenated blood, and it supplies most of the body below your heart. The inferior vena cava is the biggest vein and returns blood to the heart in the opposite direction to the aorta.
7. This animal is native to the South American rainforests, but its name can be found in SOUTH AUSTRALIA. What is this slow-moving mammal?

Answer: sloth

Sloth is also one of the seven deadly sins and is a synonym for apathy or laziness.
8. What part of the body can be found in SOUTH AUSTRALIA? Without this tube-like structure it would be impossible to eat or breathe.

Answer: throat

Your throat runs from the back of your mouth to your lungs (for the air) and to your stomach (for food). Please do not get these substances mixed up!
9. Globe Derby is a race track in Adelaide, but what specific type of gait do the horses that race there use? The answer in in the letters of SOUTH AUSTRALIA.

Answer: trot

There are several other trotting tracks scattered around the state, including Victor Harbour, Gawler, Mt Gambier and Port Pirie. The main track for the gallops in South Australia is Morphettville Racecourse.
10. 'Gidday' is a common form of greeting among Australians, but which Hawaiian greeting can be found in the letters of SOUTH AUSTRALIA?

Answer: aloha

'Aloha' is a very adaptable word, as it means both 'hello' and 'goodbye'. It also means 'affection' and 'respect', and 'really loud shirt'.
