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,

Heath   :-*   :-*   :-*
