They use Australian English, which is derived from the British (U.K.) form of the written language, with its spelling and pronunciation.

Answer

Given that the British form of English covers a plethora of regional accents and dialects, it's worth noting that the Australian accent is largely, but not exclusively, derived from the English of London, and from Hibernian (Irish) English, as groups from these areas formed a large proportion of the early settlers and especially, convicts.
