Happy Australia Day!
Happy Australia Day! Because we're so isolated, Aussies came up with our own lingo which makes no sense to the rest of the world. Inspired by an article in today's paper, I put a quick quiz together. Have a go and test how 'strine you really are (or whether you'd need an interpreter if you ever visited)!

1. To chuck a u-ey means to turn your car around.
2. A Hills Hoist is a clothes line.
3. You eat a lamington (it's a type of cake covered in chocolate and coconut).
4. Vegemite truly is the greatest food known to all mankind.
5. Budgie Smugglers are men's swimmers/togs/bathers. For more info go to budgysmuggler.com.au
6. Fair dinkum, ridgy didge and true blue are all ways of saying something is real or authentic.
Hope you enjoyed it, let me know your score!
