resembling a furred six-legged crocodile with upwardly protruding tusks.

I'll start by narrowing it down to the four Antipodean definitions. One is from New Zealand; include that. Eliminate the Aussie dessert, because I've read that the only two Australian desserts are pavlovas and lamingtons. That leaves the Australian non-drinker and the Aboriginal mythical creature. I'll eliminate the non-drinker, since of those two, an Australian non-drinker is far less likely to actually exist.

Hence: 2 and 6.
