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

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 Smiley

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

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.

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