I took a test. A fun test. Its overarching question: are you a tourist in your own home?
Absolutely not, I thought. Almost three decades in Sydney makes me a local. But when I tried to answer the questions, I was shocked â I couldnât pass.
Because itâs not about âwhere to eat, play, and stayâ. The tourist test is a kind of belonging barometer that explores how much we understand and participate in our home environment.
Drawn from the Kamana independent naturalist study program, My Year Without Matches author and rewilding facilitator Claire Dunn has adapted the test for Australia, and drops some of the 133 questions to city dwellers at her workshops.
