How can you mistake this for australian?

Because only Australians, New Zealanders and apparently South Africans can tell their accents apart?


Wooo, OK at the risk of this discussion becoming a tad pedantic, I need to clarify this misunderstanding. I think the reason that the common "white" South African accent (because there is a difference in accents between groups in SA, albeit now slowly disappearing after Apartheid) gets mistaken for Australian is because it is not widely recognised. People hear it, think, "Blimey, what's that...its not any of the British ones, not Irish, not American or Canadian....IT MUST BE AUSTRALIAN!" If you actually listen to the accents there is DEFINITELY a big distinction. American & Canadian is a lot more related to each other, same goes for Aussie and Kiwi.
The South African accent (and by extension, Zimbabwean accent) is fairly unique. It's also known by actors as the hardest accent do to correctly. Leonardo diCaprio did a fairly decent job with his in "Blood Diamond".

Server sounds British-Indian...


The server speaks with a fairly standard black South African accent (again, just explaining that there are accent differences between South Africa's groups...I'm not a racist! )

this is a fairly standard street artist style... to the extent that 90% of the paintings they do are of space and planets and junk. I should keep these comments to myself... maybe next time.
