*dances* A/c at last!

Just a hint though, the majority of us speak more like Paul Hogan - Crocodile Dundee;  than Steve Erwin - Crocodile Hunter.   ;)

Now see if you wanted me to do a creditable accent, I'd have to spend time with an ACTUAL Aussie for a few days.  I can't just pick it up after one line.  I have to hear it enough that my tongue can wrap around it.

Yes, but Kaysea doesn't sound like an Aussie. She sounds more like a Brit.

Aussie English, British English, US English. . . the same yet different, if you mean the language.
As far as accents, as different as north from south in the US.

Yeah they are, but they ARE still English on the inside.

lol  They can be very different.  My first year in this town we had 4 Americans, a Brit, a Scot, a South African and 5 Aussies.  We were forever having to translate the English language for each other!

[Kaysea]

Yeah they are, but they ARE still English on the inside.

LOL I am, yes.  But don't say that to a lot of Aussies, or Brits, both sides would take umbrage.  Especially the ones who are trying to turn Australia into a republic.

There is a very fine line between love and hate where the poms and the aussies are concerned.

I wouldn't unless it came up in conversation.  But Australia a Republic?  What is it now?

Emma and I chat frequently during the day, and often we get to the point were I have to say to her "we are separated by a common language."

Australia is part of the commonwealth.  We are still are still ruled, in name only, by the Monarchy.

And a hint, I am a Monachist - well a Traditionalist at heart, and as such don't agree with the element that want to turn this beaut country into a Republic.

God save the Queen of England, Australia, New Zealand & Canada!

Aren't there more countries in the commonwealth than that?

Thats what I thought.  Like some tiny island nations in the Pacific and something else.
