WHAT DOES YOUR SCORE MEAN >>

Score 0-5: The Southerner.

You probably don’t fish or hunt, over-sanitise your hands and when someone says “budju” you say “what?” A Darwin stubby is not your cup of chai so your ignorance to its size is irrelevant. But there is hope. The cure: a dose of pigging, a dip in the Cage of Death and a ride on a bucking bronc (a real one). Or you can bugger off back down South.

Score 5-15: The Blow-in.

You don’t call yourself a Territorian but like to think you’re fitting in all right.

Maybe you are, but you still have some way yet to go.

A hint: don’t tell your new friends that you don’t recognise Jessica Mauboy and secretly swore off beer just now to preserve brain cells for the next quiz.

Score 16-25: Territory not-so-tough.

Your ability to eat a four-chilli pawpaw salad without tears is being investigated as part of your Territorian status review.

Do better next time or Wicking will feed you to Brutus.

25-40: Territory tough.

You recognise the symptoms of mango madness in time to know you’d better stick your face in the esky and crack another 2L stubby.

You own a set of thongs, a pair of steel-capped boots, and, if you’re a sheila, a pair of going-out thongs.

You’re not scared of pythons and don’t hesitate to bob a cane toad with a golf club.

Score 40-49: “That’s not a knife. THIS IS a knife.”

Buffalo whisperers, croc wranglers and Akubra-wearing salt-of-the-earth Territorians, this is you.
