About this word search

Australian English has its own words for several of these. Runners is what many Victorians call sports shoes, while other states tend to say joggers, and Gumboots are the rubber boots for a wet paddock. A Tracksuit is often shortened to trackies.

Any of the eight directions can be used, backwards included. Look for the Z in Zip and the Ks in Kilt, Anorak and Tracksuit, as these letters stand out. Dressing gown and Bow tie run as one line of letters.

For English learners, sort the words by part of the body or by season, and then describe what someone is wearing in a photo.
