Come on you guys, I've yet to find a Yank who call tell the difference 
between a British, Kiwi or Australian accent - that's because we all speak 
English without some sort of American accent.
I remember I was in Washington with the Vietnam Vets ( ride to the Wall) in 
2002 and was talking to the boys and one chap kept looking at me and finally 
he said "G.. Damn what part of the East Coast do you come from" In a strong 
Southern accent - needless to say I had Australia written all over my 
jacket,  I responded to him and said" I don't come from the East Coast I 
come from down south. He queried "G.. Damn - how far south!" It went on from 
there.
I got a thousand stories like that from all over the US, which I relate to 
fellow Aussies.

 The gecko has a London accent, if I ever heard one.
