That's not bad collyers... :smt023 ...I'm an Aussie and I got two wrong...still a good result.
You're a little ripper!
You have a near perfect grasp of the colourful gab and can probably make yourself understood in most social occasions, such as Gazza's weekly Barbie... but I bet you can't throw a boomerang!
Yes I can throw a booberang..and like to make them too.. :D ..really.

You lose 5 points for claiming to drink Fosters. Aussies barely touch the stuff, unless it's free! :P

Pommie bastard!!

What SHOULD I be swilling then, mate?

I've got my Nastro Azzurra & my Stella Artois & my Pilsner Urquell...

That's all (the Foster's) we get in Texas from y'all. Just as Lone Star Beer is like sex in a canoe........
















it's fracking near water!

XXXX is popular in Queensland.

Did y'all know DJ was once the Australian Frisbee Champion?

He has even given demos on the famous Melbourne Cricket ground during the test cricket! That is one huge thrill!

We have Frisbee Golf courses in public parks here. Frisbee is very much alive & well, we just don't talk about it much. There's one in my backpack right now.....

Thanks collyers...

I once had a quiver of golf disc's...

Small heavy drivers..medium size/weight floaters for approach shots and big heavy putting disc's..all with big numbers on them.

I don't what what happened to them..I think they were made by Wham-o..and in that glow at night plastic.

There are no Frisbee golf courses down under that I know of.........bummer!.

We had them here for some comps in about the mid 80's....we just started using trees in the local park..and make up our own course...
those where the days.

A couple of months ago I chased all over Melbourne trying to buy a decent Frisbee (not a crappy toy disc)...
none in sports shops..none in toy shops...I finally found a nice Sky-styler (the one in my pic) in a kind of juggling/magic shop.

Thanks Scott...the closest I got to America was Hawaii...one of the first things I did when I got there was try and buy a good frisbee...and it wasn't easy.

Whenever I meet Americans I ask " do you like Rush...you know..the band Rush...and they usually say..Who???

Then I ask do they like to throw a frisbee...and they only laugh...meaning..are you kidding..maybe when I was a kid... :(

I had two very good American friends that were into frisbee bigtime...I would throw it to them and have to wait 5 minutes while they delay,spin,tap,body roll,more spin,more tap,air brush and finally catch in some distorted way...and then throw it back.. :D

They soon had me doing it.. :roll:

Thanks Bob..I'll check it out....I've been looking for a dvd on frisbee freestyle for some time now without any luck...even old Rose Bowl footage would be good...I miss my old mates that I used to throw with..my daughter is now old enough..(just turned 12)..but she can't give me any real spin like thay did.

If you were to manage to get all 20 correct, you'd probably understand this bit too!
:D

You got 20 answers right.
You got 0 answers wrong.
You're a bottler, mate!
You are a fair dinkum, ridgy didge, dinky die, true blue, dyed-in-the-wool Ocker-like strine speaker. Well bugger me, you could probably even play a didgeridoo and know the proper way to twirl a billy. Goodonya. Get us another stubbie while you're up, will ya... and have one yourself while you're at it!
