The Australian "accent" is caused by our beautiful weather!....unlike colder climates , our nasal passages are clear...taking advantage of this, Orstraylainz have taken to "talking through their noses"...(
talking through one's nose allows room for more important tasks, like drinking beer) and that's what givin us our distinctive twang!
Now, All advantages of this is lost when an Aussie
a)has a cold or
b)has an ice-hockey mask on. During these times Aussies sound exactly like Swedes...or Northern Germans
New Zealanders "accent" is caused by their beautiful wethers...Wethers being lady sheep.... the combination of cold weather, pretty wethers and being totally crap at cricket has lead to a condtion where Kiwis now just talk a load of bollocks......hehehe!
