I don't remember, but I think just one. Also, for someone like myself who is mixed, I don't remember there being an option to select a mixed race option.

There was fear during ww2 that Japan would invade Australia and they did bomb one Australian city.

Yes but Japan had stretched it's forces too thin already, they couldn't have done it.

Yes a lot of Australia would be very unpleasant to live in with the extremely high temperatures and desert environment and the northern half experiences frequent flooding. Up north has lots of crocs as well.

Lots of people love Darwin though but it would be too humid and hot for me. I prefer the dry heat over the humidity of places like far tropical North Queensland or even Queensland as a whole.

From memory it asked where your parents were born so that would give a lot of information on people's backgrounds as well.
