I’ve always considered the Australian accent to be fairly homogeneous across regions, but certainly there isn’t the extreme diversity that the UK and America have. How much diversity is there, and what are the various characteristics? How long would it take you to tell a Cockroach from a Cane Toad when you meet him in the street?

    The accent can vary from a light almost English or even mid Atlantic style through to a very broad “ocker/bogan” style. But that doesn’t really track to a location. You’re more likely to pick up on them using different words for the same thing than picking up specifically by accent. Potato scallops, cossies, for example

    Guess where I’m from 😂
