Oi! You found the secret page.

Good on ya, detective. As a reward, here are some weird and wonderful things about Australia. (None of this is in the citizenship test. It’s just fun.)

More secrets, if you’re keen

Try typing “gday” or “crikey” anywhere on the site (except during a study session or test). There are more magic words — think birds that swoop, birds that steal chips, things on the beach, a certain spread — and the 2026 premiers.
Gamers might know a certain code: ↑ ↑ ↓ ↓ ← → ← → B A.
Ever heard of a drop bear? Read the safety guide.
Some pages only appear if you type the right address after aussieas.info/. Hint: think of what Aussies shake on their chips, spread on their toast, slam with a hot chocolate… or call the hotline about.
A few more (all one word, no spaces): a bird that raids bins, a war Australia lost to some birds, the sprinkly bread at kids’ parties, the season to wear a hat with eyes on the back, a dessert New Zealand keeps trying to claim… and the giant roadside things you pull over to photograph on a road trip.
New magic words to type: a laughing bird, a screeching one, a big bird that once beat the army, a cube-pooing marsupial, something in the roof, an itchy buzz, the great Aussie salute, a cricket appeal, a meringue dessert, a summer Santa, the city with four seasons in one day… and, if you’re feeling brave, the place we live (one word). Hold on to your screen for that one.
Even more magic words: the Easter animal that isn’t a bunny, a pink-and-grey bird (also what you call a silly person), the egg-laying duck-billed one, the smiliest animal on Rottnest, and a chocolate-and-coconut cake. And say “strewth” to turn the whole site into broad Aussie. Plus how Kath says “nice”, a certain skivvy-wearing band of four, and two bananas in pyjamas (type their names, no spaces). Fans of old Aussie kids’ TV might also try the last word of a spooky lighthouse show, or the man from the Moon (no “Mr”). And the site’s resident bin chicken has a name: type it.
Even more hidden pages (no spaces): hop over things in your thongs, dodge a magpie, whack a mozzie, spot the drop bear, the race that stops a wombat (two words), and the big day you become a citizen (two words).
Rare things: a golden thong turns up once a month, somewhere, for half a minute. And keep an eye out during practice tests. Bazza gets bored.
New hidden pages (one word, no spaces): what the barbie invite tells you to bring, the question every visitor asks about our animals, the name for broad Aussie English, the cricket you play over the back fence, flicking your footwear, and Saturday at the hardware store. And what do you call a battered slice of potato?

Fancy some music? Here’s a starter playlist of great Aussie songs.
