LOL!!!
Was being helped by a guy at Home Depot and noted his accent. When I asked how long since he left South Africa - he was impressed - most Americans thought he was Australian.
It’s a gift;)
I grew up in Australia, but have been back for over 20 years. I worked hard to get rid of my accent, but some very keen listeners have picked *something* up and asked where I’m from. Only one person actually pinpointed the very scarce accent as Australian.
