Australian accents differ along ethnic lines instead of geographic ones. You can tell the difference between in indigenous accent, an azn accent, an indian accent, a southern Euro accent, etc. The only geographic variation I can think of is Adelaide/South to the east coast. If you listen to Mike Rann (South premier) or Alexander Downer, you'll know what I mean.
Otherwise accents fall under three loose categories: General (Hugh Jackman, Cate Blanchette, most of the country), Broad (Steve Irwin, Dundee, ockers) and Cultivated (Iva Buttrose, Richard Gill, Geoff Rush).
