I grew up in rural NSW and I’ve been called British, New Zealand, American, South African. 🤨

I felt better when I visited friends in the US and ran into some mates from Perth who’d been there a few months and they said “it’s so good to hear an Australian voice again”.

And one of their new US friends heard me talking and were like “oh my God another Australian!”

So it seems to be just people in Melbourne and Sydney can’t pick my accent.
