Of Canucks and kiwi's...

[Papewaio]

Australians have a higher pitched voice and a lower pitched cricket bowling action then Kiwis.

Most noteable is how low a pitch Kiwi females sound compared to Aussie females, while how high Australian males sound in comparison to Kiwi males.

There are accent differences within the two countries as well. The really strong Aussie accents come from Queensland. While in NZ the South Islanders tend to roll thier R's more (Scottish influence methinks).

Australian sentences will also have a higher tendancy to sound like questions or surprise. The pitch rises towards the end of the sentence.

Dunno about Australia - but when I went to New Zealand... I was amazed at how... twee the Kiwis were.
