Australia Day Quiz In India

This year for the 26th of January I celebrated Australia Day and Indian Independence day together. One of the exercises was to produce a Quiz for the Brothers and see what they knew about Australia. It was a chance to interact about a topic in an English context. I gave them lots of resources and information before hand.
