Take this test and find out if you can understand people from Australia. When I watch Aussie TV, I can usually figure it out from what they're saying. I got only 50% right - not sure what percentage I got wrong.

Well, I got 100%. But then, I lived there for 10 years, so I have an advantage.

Turns out I don't speak Australian. Of course, there are days I barely speak English.

WELL NOW I am a fourth generation Aussie...............a Bottle O was a man who drove the streets and collected one's empty bottles. Long before our days of Council collections. In fact in the 50s we had such a man who drove a cart with a Clydesdale horse, and not a truck.

Now I remember that. I was there in the 70's, and the guy drove a truck. They didn't give us that answer in the test, so I picked the next best one. Seems to me the place you bought your liquor was called a "bottle shop".

Fair Dinkum -I done ripper! Got 80% and I've never been to OZ or even now any real bogans. I think I'll celebrate with a slab of beer and a few shrimp on the barbie.

I got 100% and I have only spent about 3 months in Australia. However they are next door neighbours and we use mostly the same words.

Got 100% but then I only live over the ditch and have been there many times.

Uhh, there are 10 questions, so you could have had a 30% or a 40%, but there is no 35%...
