LOL I think this should explain it all. Melbourne is in Australia. ;D

As a New Zealander I am highly amused that people get Australian language confused with New Zealand english. Having travelled the length and breadth of my homeland the only time I have heard the pronounciations above is when I have met Australians who pronounce Sydney as Sidnee :)

Good try though.. Perhaps the thread title should be Learn Australian :)

My American History teacher is South African and I can never understand a word he's saying.

God help us if anyone posts something about how to learn Ebonics. We'd need a translator for the translator, for the translator to get it to an understandable level.

;D

The art of 'Australia Speak' is to make each phrase sound like a kwischin--?(A subtle rise in Pitch)
