    What part of Aus is she from? I remember being in Adelaide and thinking the accent was particularly grating where as in Sydney and Melbourne is was easier on the ear.

    She's from Melbourne. Although it says on her C4 'rural upbringing' in Melbourne so I'm not exactly sure where. :)

    she sounds like she's a country girl. I have a few mates who talk similarly to her and they were raised in different states but all were from country areas.

    I spent four years up north while at uni, and considering I'm from around Cambridge, the accent is ridiculously different to what I was used to. Yet I can (proudly) say that I didn't pick up a northern accent at all, although I can do a great impression if the need arises.

    Personally, I think that it's all a farce anyway. When people "pick up" an accent, I personally believe they do it through choice. I know people who've moved to a different part of the country and within months they begun talking like inbred farmers. Still, whatever floats you boat. I'm not a massive fan of the australian accent, but I wouldn't judge Sara based soley on her accent. I'd be willing to go as far as judging her on her looks and the size of her wallet as well...

    :D:D:D

    Kat's accent doesn't grate on the ears likes sara's. I like maysoon's accent.

    Does Maysoon have an accent? She just sounds well-spoken to me, here in posh Surrey.

    I mean she's been here for five years already!! Why isn't she speaking with a plum in her mouth or doing a how's your father, knees up mother brown? Why has she still got that thick Australian accent. :confused:

    I agree her accent is quite strong. I've been in England / Ireland for 10 years, and I'd say my accent's softened a bit but people still know I'm from Australia when I speak.

    Her accent reminds me of how the accent sounds whenever I go home to Oz - it's always a shock for the first couple of days because it sounds so harsh and nasally. Then I get used to it and come back to Ireland sounding really 'ocker' again.

    I agree. I'm from the US but have been living in London for the last 3 years. I still have my American accent and wouldn't dream of trying to sound more british for fear of sounding silly.

    I have picked up a lot of the british vocabulary just to make my life easier. Although a couple of days ago at the cosmetics counter I asked for the "trash" instead of the bin and the girl who worked there laughed and thought it was "so cute."
