6. "Handbrake" is a term of endearment for the wife.
7. You drink in "shouts" with your mates.
8. You'll need to be able to quote statistics about some form of sport as far back as when the bears were bad, but not be able to name the Premiers of more than two states.
9. At family barbeques, you need to play cricket. ( bowl a maiden over, field at long on..sneak a single and stand at square leg).
10. You'll need to be able to speak strine. (Do a Google search).
