Heath’s Aussie Quiz
Hi everyone, I’m Heath (being channeled by my good mate, Kerry!), and this is my Aussie quiz for you all to have fun with and enjoy!

Kerry:
Thank you to Jess and Dottie for responding to my fun Aussie quiz! :D
I have made a small amendment to my original post in that I will now not be posting the results within 24 hours of receipt. Instead, all results will now be posted on June 1, along with the correct answers.
I have done this incase someone gets 100%, which would immediately give away all the correct answers.
Lotsa love,
