Clues to look for
Cars drive on the left. Red soil, eucalyptus trees, wide roads, and yellow diamond warning signs (often with kangaroos).
Driving side
Cars in Australia drive on the left. So do New Zealand and Christmas Island, which are also in Australia & New Zealand. Fewer than a quarter of countries drive on the left, so spotting it narrows things down a lot.
Countries it's easy to confuse with Australia
If you guess a neighbour of Australia you still score 2 points, and any other country in Australia & New Zealand scores 1 point.
