yeah I agree. I've heard both Australian accents. They have a british hybrid type sound which is nice and pleasant.

Then there is the deep thick rustic accent that is the more popular version that most people outside of Australia think all Australians sound like. Basically what The Unfan is describing.

You look just like my second best friend! Except she has a darker shade of blonde hair. And your voice differs a bit (a lot). Australians sound like southerners, with a little bit of britishness in them.

I think Australians sound more like South Africans than any 'British' accent.

Definitely. There is still quite a similarity between the Australian accent and the Londoner one though. The amount of times I've been mistaken for an Aussie myself is pretty surreal.

And the amount of times I've been abroad and been mistaken for being British really surprised me...

Also when my flatmates play XBox live, players on the other end always calls them 'Britains.'

My Australian friends are always being confused for British when in America.

Australian accect takes the cake no doubt, nothing hotter than a fox with an Aussie accent. On the other end of things though, I cant stand the French accent, it sounds rediculous. *shivers thinking about it*

I agree with the French language but only coming from guys....it sounds absurd....I don't mind it from the females too much and probably because I can semi- understand what they are saying. ty 5 years of french in school
