Hello and welcome to another edition of No Such Thing as a Fish Presents International Fact Ball.

This is brought to you by the QILs in association with visitingland.com. My name is Dan.

I'm sitting here with Alex, James and Molly and it's time to pit another two teams together and

today's match is Australia vs Mexico. So let's begin with Australia. What is quite interesting

about Australia? Who wants to go first? Well, Dan Shriver is from Australia. I am Australian.

Yes, and so this is going to be a very biased match, I feel. I think we're all going to be going

for Mexico just despite you. There you go. This is very Australian. The national anthem was

written on a bus. But really? Yeah, it was a guy called Peter Dodds, McCormick. He was returning

from a concert of national anthems. That must have been a great concert. And he was just annoyed

that Australia didn't have one. He was basically sitting on the bus and he thought, no way, we need a

national anthem. So he just started writing it. Did you write a good one? We wrote advanced

Australia fair. So which? No, it does include the line, our home is Gert Bice. Gert Bice means

it's surrounded by seas. We are a beautiful island. You wanted to say it? Yeah, which would have been

nicer to say we're a beautiful island. Okay, so some facts about Australia. Lots of Aboriginal

languages in Australia. And here are some words that we get from there. Budgerigar, Bunyip, Dinggo,

Gellar, Kangaroo, Koala, Kukabira, Numbat, Wallaby, Walleroo, Wichiti, Wonga and Wombat.

And also Kylie, right? Kylie is an Aboriginal word that means kind of like a boomerang that

doesn't come back. It's a stick that used to be used for catching and killing animals. That's what

Kylie means. And there's the oldest one has been dated at 20,000 years old, made from a mammoth

tusk. It would really hurt the mammoth because it's made out of mammoth tusks and then it gets hit

by something that's made out of his own tusks. Oh, that's terrible. That would be like us walking

around as someone throws a leg at us. It's like hit by a human bit of body. I know.
