Tourist questions for Australia

My sis Lee Na emailed me this little stomach twister earlier. Have a read. Remember, this is for laughs... I don't know for sure if this was really
posted on the Australian Tourism Website for real but obviously the answers came from an Aussie... =P

PS. re: question 18... i think Australia has some of the deadliest snakes in
the world... according to The Crocodile Hunter, at least!
