17/20, which ain't bad for not knowing what I was talking about!
Y'know, one thing that surprised me in some of the Strine quizzes and articles you've linked here, is that many of the expressions listed as Australian are also current in my neighborhood. Granted I live in a part of the US that was overrun by Canadians (both my grandfathers' familiy lines were Canadian), so there's considerable shared ancestry.
Not that any of the ones on this quiz are used around here, that I know.
