What is the nickname of the National Men's Hockey Team of Australia ?

Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: D
Explanation

The Australian national men's field hockey team is officially nicknamed the Kookaburras [1]. This moniker is derived from the iconic native Australian bird known for its distinctive laughing call, symbolizing a bold and confident nature on the international stage [2]. The team is governed by Hockey Australia and has a long-standing partnership with the sports equipment brand Kookaburra Sport. In contrast, the other options refer to different Australian national teams: the 'Kangaroos' is the nickname for the rugby league team, the 'Boomers' represents the men's basketball team [2], and the 'Dolphins' is the nickname for the national swimming team [2]. The female counterparts to the Kookaburras in field hockey are known as the Hockeyroos [2].
