We have an accent?
To Australians, it's the rest of the world that has an accent.
The Australian language is a derivation of many different accents found throughout the United Kingdom. Like all cultures do over time, the Australian culture developed a unique accent, especially with being separated from its parent country through time and distance. The Australian accent has been scientifically proven to be one of the most difficult accents in the world to accurately reproduce (seriously). There are also regional differences. Foreigners who backpack through Australia find the quick drawl of casual Australian speech hard to understand.
The Australian accent is nothing like that portrayed by people pretending to be Australians on US television shows. It is not a "cockney" accent with the emphasis on the "oi" sound that it is propounded to be. Where Americans emphasise the "r" in words such as "teacher" or "neighbour", in the Australian accent it is more of a "schwa" (an unstressed, neutral, toneless vowel sound) so it comes out as "teacha" (unstressed) or "neighba".

You would have to born in Australia and raised by Australian born parents to have an undetectable Australian accent. Fake Australian accents are easy apparently, all American actors who try it sound like a confused Englishman with a throat infection. However, the true Australian accent has been scientifically proven to be one of the most difficult to accurately reproduce.
