I wonder if there will ever be a day where Australia is considered its own country with its own merits.

That being said, I really can't tell different American accents apart other than southern ones and New York ones maybe.
Yeah, New York/Jersey/Boston accents and the southern ones are very unique and hard to miss.

And only when I listen REALLY carefully can I make the distinction between English and Australian. Nothing against the cultures, just the way you speak.
