    12/20 = failed apparently.

    Such an anglo-centric test. I took history in high school and still got that result! I must say that the Australia of today (or recent times) is much more than the historical version.

    Being an immigrant (like most of us here) and an active and involved member of the community I find this offensive.

    While I must say I learned a thing or two, unless I'm into a specific strain of history I just would not know. EG Bradman's thing, some of these other names. I even guessed a few! This is more like a trivia test than a useful gauge of being Australian.

    This test should be more about reflecting the values that Australia embodies, not a friggin' pub trivia test!

    Wow that test is ridiculous, I scored 10 mostly by guessing.

    Who lit the Olympic cauldron in Sydney Olympics 2000?
    [ A ] Cathy Freeman
    [ B ] Phar Lap
    [ C ] Sir Donald Bradman
    I think b would have been hilarious
