I know people like to make out that Australia is full of dangerous creatures and terrible deaths, but 99% of Australians have never seen anything more deadly than a pit-bull terrier.

And that time I ran over a brown snake with the lawnmower. And the Red-Back Spiders in my garage. And the boxing kangaroos and THE FRICKING DROP BEARS!! May my brother rest in peace.

I don't know about that. Certainly the wildlife is exaggerated, but when I was living in Queensland I'd regularly see venomous snakes and spiders around the house and in the garden, on top of quite a few rather big pythons. And while SEQ doesn't (yet) get deadly jellyfish, I know no one who has lived there and not gotten a blue bottle sting at least once - that won't kill you, but you will never forget it.

In South Australia it's 'Bathers' for swimsuit (we used to use 'Togs' for swimsuit in Lancashire UK)..... No idea who Hemsworth's are ..... Also people in SA use 'Afto' for afternoon not 'Arvo'.

Chris is probably most known for his role as Thor in the Marvel universe and Liam had some international roles as well (in The Hunger Games e.g.). Funny thing: Chris and Liam have another brother who actually plays a role in the 2nd last answer of this quiz yet he isn't even mentioned. I guess his roles weren't big enough? Though he also appears in international productions like the HBO series Westworld.

To put it bluntly and sadly, the oldest brother got the genetic short end of the stick. Do a web search for the three men together and you'll see what I mean. Much of Chris and Liam's recognition and movie roles are due to status as heart-throbs. The older brother is half a foot shorter and much more average looking. The worst part is that he initially got his younger brothers into acting and now they're both internationally known.

Is it fair to ask QM to accept "avo"? I know most of what I know about the country from TV (I know, shameful), so I've only ever heard it as sounding like "avo" ("ahvo"?) with the accent. But maybe I'm pushing my luck AND asking the wrong person!?

Here in Victoria I've only heard swimwear called bathers, if you are being formal, and togs, if you are being informal.

Geez Quizmaster, are you trying to start a fight? Only Queenslanders say Togs!! In Victoria we are classy and say Bathers. In Sydney they say swimmers. There are others. Here is an entire article and map about it:

He was already a multi-platinum country music star before he and Kidman got together. It's certainly possible to not have heard much about him if you're not into country music, but he's definitely famous in his own right.

Since monitors and Komodo dragons actually come from other parts of the world, why not replace the clue for the lizard question to "Blue Tongued ..." instead? Use an animal that actually is native to our country!
