Australian Citizenship – Australian citizenship practice test
Australian citizenship practice test
The citizenship test consists of 20 questions drawn at random from a pool of questions. To pass the test, you must answer 75 per cent, or 15 out of 20 questions, correctly.
Hint... I did not know each state has its own constitution,,,...There are six states in Australia: New South Wales (NSW), Queensland (Qld), South Australia (SA), Tasmania (Tas.), Victoria (Vic.) and Western Australia (WA). Each state has its own state Constitution, which divides the state's government into the same divisions of legislature, executive, and judiciary as the Australian Government
Victoria has a written constitution. Enacted in 1975, but based on the 1855 colonial constitution[dead link], it establishes the parliament as the state's law-making body for matters coming under state responsibility.
Or do this one much more fun and dinkum

Australian identity? I did enjoy this.
Sleep on country
A white tourist from the South was heard to ask an old indigenous man in Northern Queensland how best she might get to understand and connect to the country in the way that he did. Came the brief reply with a big smile: “Just go out in the country and sleep a night on the ground there. Sleep on country”

Red Aurora Australis
Auroras January 16th and 22nd visible from Southern Coast of Australia. Due to sun spot action last weeks that building to its 11 year high this and 2013 year.
Red Aurora Australis on Vimeo
4.30 am I saw this from my place but its twas only a blob of yellow in the southern sky. This footage taken from Flinders beach @30 clicks south of me.
I used to hang glide here and there's Navy gun training complex that often shoots 78mm boat deck and 50 cal machines, thats great to watch on open days. The boats would be the map of tassy ferry and container-ships of junk from China going into Port Phillips heads.

Aussie Dave, with Australia day I couldn't get Stewart's Notebook in the post until today.
I previously mentioned some articles I wrote on the Port Arthur Massacre. Aussie Dave read them and recognised a gunsmith I referred to. He also knew Stewart Beattie and we had a bit of exchange. I told him I still had a spare copy of Stewart's 'A Gunsmith's Notebook to Port Arthur' and would send it to him if he would forward it on to anybody else on the forum that wanted to read it.
The notebook doesn't just contain information and analysis on the firearm evidence of the PAM, but also includes other areas including a good section on the audio tape where Bryant is on the phone to the Police negotiator and someone else fires an SKS from the upstair window.
Anyway, if you want to have a read of it contact Aussie Dave and he can forward to you when he has finished with it.

Somebody's talking crap here & it ain't the tree!
don't spose we have a entomologist in our midst i know it's a fly but i don't know what it's called
Yep it's a fly for sure
Yeah there are a lot of beneficial flies around for sure. Unfortunately we only see the ones as a rule that cop a dose of Mortein
These things do major damage to bad bugs behind the scenes without us knowing it. I AM NOT going through my taxonomy text books

* You know how to abbreviate every word, all of which usually end in -o: arvo, combo, garbo, kero, lezzo, metho, milko, muso, rego, servo, smoko, speedo, righto, goodo etc.
* You know that there is a universal place called "woop woop" located in the middle of nowhere...no matter where you actually are.

who here is set up to machine squish band and base on a husky cylinder?
MCW
Somebody's talking crap here & it ain't the tree!
I've read elsewhere that sandpaper and a lump of wooden dowel builds a pretty mean wood's saw
The cylinder base can be ground down with a wood chisel and any imperfections filled with gasket goo...

Good scope choices Darren.
I've got a couple of the jap made Nikko Diamond 4.5-14x50AO scopes which were bloody good value from Horsley Park at $350 a number of years back - they are great scopes regardless of price. Also have a 4-16x50 B&L Elite 4000 on the Tikka. I refuse to buy the Bushnell version even though I know it's the same scope.
I got a VX 3 4.5-14 on my bunny gun, tis great. Took awhile to hunt up the bargain price of under $500 fleabay but well worth the wait having to be sure tis not a knock off.
My no 1 has a not so good 24 pwr 56mm Nikko night-eater that's ok for now, as I'm not so good either, so we work well together blaming each other.
My other scopes are cheapy jobs, tasco and this odd brand knock off target thing that works but could be better happy enough good glass is pricey so i wait
Ah good my new cumputa works pictures as well, the old one died last weeks.

I bought a Bushnell of eBay for my old No 4 .303". Looked the goods (I knew it was a knock off!) but every time you try to focus the ocular (eyepiece) lens the crosshairs get loose and start going sideways
I have an old 6 x 40mm Tasco World Class on my 77/22 which is perfect. I wanted to stick a World Class Plus on it but the bolt handle hit the scope
How do you find the accuracy of your lever Ruger .22?
Yeah fine to 50 yards at the club range on a bench. Put it out front on ya arms and its only as good as the operator,:rolleyes2: so I try to get it rested for shots and to my regret need to go neck/body rather than head shots. I use LV hollows for bunny's they do just fine and do not spook the mob.
My 22/77 makes easy head shots to 50 plus but the scope adjust is now stuck at 24pwr, so not ideal.
