Welcome to our Australian True or False quiz!

If you love everything that has to do with Australia and are looking for a bit of a different kind of quiz, this one is definitely for you.

As you may already know, we usually build quizzes with a lot of trivia questions and MCQ but in this case, we decided to make it a ‘true or false’ only.

Here is how it works. You will find below 45 ‘facts’ about Australia. This includes everything from Australian history to the national parks, Australian TV shows, cuisine and more.

Some of these facts are true and others aren’t. You have to tell whether they are true or false.

Each correct answer will score you a point. However, if you want to make it a bit more interesting and truly test your knowledge of Australia, you can also try to correct the false facts.

For example, if one of these say ‘The Whitsundays are in Victoria’. You would score 1 point for saying it’s false and another point for saying they are located in Queensland.

Got it? Ok, now let’s get started with all these Australian true or false. Take a piece of paper and a pen so you can write down your answers.

The actual answers are located further down.
