Peter,
Sounds haad to pronounce and not something I'd pick up through my normal preparation routine, which is to eat Bloomin' Onions at Outback Steakhouse.
Thenks,

The first time I went to Australia, in 1999, I learned two things very quickly.
1. Outback has absolutely nothing remotely Australian on their menu.
2. Absolutely nobody in their right mind ever drinks Foster's.
I also discovered that, unless they play golf, they have no idea they have world class courses there. I tell my father-in-law all the time... "Melbourne has a couple of courses worthy of being top five or ten in the whole world". He goes "We do? Really?"
I also learned that a "normal" American accent is actually very hard for them to pick out. I used to get asked if I was Irish or Canadian a lot more than anything else, presumably because of my subtle upper midwestern shadings. This is because they expect every American to sound like George W. Bush or some exaggerated Valley Girl.
An Aussie accent really is the hardest to do properly. I pick up other accents with no problems at all, but a real Aussie one is just too hard. Even after being married to one and having literally seen her every day for the last 15 years, I still can't get it right. The only time I can do it is if I'm doing an imitation of somebody else, like an AFL commentator or something.
Oddly enough I do a good Kiwi though.... I got Frank Nobilo down to a tee, but I can't do an Aussie, go figure.
