Australians are well exposed to American accents since they get a lot of our TV shows and movies. In the US, though, we don't often see or hear Australian accents. But, since we've gotten back, I've noticed more commercials with Australian accents than before. Outback steakhouse started an advertising campaign while we were gone. One of their commercials included scenes from Sydney, which we recognized before the narrator started talking (and before they showed the opera house). I've also seen a few Fosters beer commercials since we returned (though Fosters didn't seem nearly as popular in Australia as the commercials would imply). It's kind of neat to come back to the US and still hear the same accent from Australia.
