There are definitely similarities between the Aussies and the English but more in vocabulary I found. Not so much in accent but I didn't really have to be careful with what I was saying like I would elsewhere unless I wanted to have to repeat or explain myself every 2 minutes. Unless I was using any specifically regional dialect from the North East I was more or less OK.
