Sometimes I write quiz rounds and store them for future use. Sometimes the questions become obsolete. Sometimes someone else sets a round in the meantime that is similar-ish. Sometimes you decide that the round has too many geography questions in, especially considering what else you are planning to do, and just want it used up ASAP. So with no further ado, a rejected twubquiz round about matters antipodean with an obsolete question 10!
Australia. Questions about, erm, Australia.
1: Australia covers an area of approximately how many square miles, to the nearest million?
2: A branch of the South Pacific Ocean, what sea lies between Australia and New Zealand?
3: What is the largest bird native to Australia?
4: What iconic Australian structure is covered in 1,056,006 glossy white- and matte-cream-coloured tiles?
5: Errol Flynn, Nicole Kidman, Hugh Jackman, Heath Ledger - which of those was not born in Australia?
6: Who is the 1946 junior swimming champion that had the 1969 UK Christmas #1 single?
7: In the Australian musical Priscilla, Queen of the Desert, who or what is Priscilla?
8: The Australian golfer Greg Norman is nicknamed after what marine creature?
9: The word Australia is derived from the Latin word australis, meaning what?
10: What links Australia's longest river, to the male tennis player who has not won a set in his 3 grand slam finals? (Except he has won a set now)
