US English is interesting for its flexibility and rich varieties (even in formal situations).

Some Australian accents sound almost exactly like some British accents.

We have a strong historic and linguistic connection with Britain. The thing that strikes me about England is the wide range of very different accents - this isn't nearly as noticeable in Australia.
The woman in this youtube has a typical Aussie accent. You may struggle to understnd her as we tend to run our words together in Australia, drop of some endings etc etc. It's a little long but worth watching. In it she lists a lot of Australian slang compared to British English and American English.
