very interesting. I had mentioned strine years ago to my friend who lived up near the Daintree forest and she was horrified that I knew what it was (and that the Steve Irwin used it since that's pretty much how all Americans assume Australians talk). I have an accent that is very indicative of one city here and am just as proud of it. I like language and all its forms
