Here are my guesses.

 

[Eric]

Ron (4)
Trike Lady (3.5)
Larry (1.5)
The .5 is because there is one trick question. Thanks for having a go. Eric

 

[scons]

Great attempts everyone. I'm glad I don't have to do a citizenship quiz off the top of my head Eric.
Happy Australia Day

 

[Eric]

Firstly thankyou to those that had a go. And just to show that this Aussie didn't get them all right either. I missed out on 7 & 8. So I declare Bill the winner. I will get it in the post next week for you.
1/ B
2/ A
3/ B
4/ C
5/ B
6/ A
7/ C
8/ A
9/ B & C
10/ A

Some explaining to a couple of questions.
Question 5/ Who would beleive it but China has more sheep than Australia.
Question 6/ Australia is the only country with wild camels population.
Question 8/ This one would have been hard for you guys in that. You may have being thinking do these place's even exist. Well at 127f in 1889 at Cloncurry
Question 9/ Thiis is the trick question, just in case you thought it wasn't hard enough. Both B & C are correct. Australia is both the flatest and the oldest continent.
I hope you had a bit of fun with it.
Eric

 

[Eric]

Great attempts everyone. I'm glad I don't have to do a citizenship quiz off the top of my head Eric.
Happy Australia Day

I was happy that you didn't have a go Bob. You may have had an unfair advantage on my USA mates on this Quiz. Good to see you on here. Eric

 

[fossil92]

So I declare Bill the winner. I will get it in the post next week for you.

That was short time period for a quiz Eric. Hey since I'm on a winning streak I think I'll go buy that once a year Lottery Ticket.

Some explaining to a couple of questions.
Question 5/ Who would beleive it but China has more sheep than Australia. Good thing you didn't ask what country or I'd had 5.
Question 6/ Australia is the only country with wild camels population. This one was just a guess.
Question 8/ This one would have been hard for you guys in that. You may have being thinking do these place's even exist. Well at 127f in 1889 at Cloncurry Again just a guess I went with the year thing.
Question 9/ Thiis is the trick question, just in case you thought it wasn't hard enough. Both B & C are correct. Australia is both the flatest and the oldest continent. DOH! That one I had 2 shots at & got it wrong. "He chose poorly" ~ Knight Templar
I hope you had a bit of fun with it.

Fun it was Eric you may have started something here.

 

[Eric]

I didn't want to drag it out too long because people like to see what the answers are. You were very good at it considering it was about Australia. I would have had a red face if any of the question were not correct and there for a minute I thought question 8 may have been wrong. But I checked it and it was ok. I didn't do much better than you did. I got two wrong. Eric
