To be fair, the Australian accent was much less pronounced pre-war, so it's totally feasible that a British-born ship would still sound rather like she was from Old Blighty rather than a true (modern) Aussie.

From recordings, some Aussies were indistinguishable from Britons in the early 20th century [ as were, say-it-who-dares, some middle-class Americans --- George M. Cohan speaking rather than entertaining --- and before the Mid-Atlantic accent favoured by say, the English Cary Grant and the American William Powell --- would have been accepted as a fellow-countryman down the Strand. Where the accents of the world congregate ].
I subsisted on a diet of meat pies and sausage rolls during my time in Australia, so this makes me curious how much better NZ meatpies are.
It may be different now (since I've been in Japan for quite a while, and I very much miss having cheap meat pies everywhere), but as I recall, some of NZ's steak pies had too much meat to be classified as pies (for tax reasons).
Australian regulation basically just have a lower floor for filler and gravy in pies than NZ does, so in general, NZ pies will be meatier.
Yeah, but I think in the last five or six decades, Australia's political alignment has been leaning towards the US rather than the British (e.g. Vietnam War). Or at least it were before Trump's inauguration.
Well, I don't know for sure, correct me if I'm wrong.

No, Australia's still (mostly) lock-step in line with Washington on foreign (and defence) policy, despite China being its biggest trading partner.
I'm a little surprised that this is the first image on Danbooru to be tagged Vegemite, but then again, there aren't a huge number with Marmite, and a lot of those are Ido too. I guess Japanese artists aren't exactly falling over themselves to feature foreign yeast extract spreads in their work.
(Checks...) No, no tag for Cenovis, either (and not likely to be, if a shipgirl from the country is what it takes).
I mean, even Westerners aren't that fond of Marmi and Vegemite's taste. I've tasted both (I love my local British themed pub), and I'll choose Vegemite over Marmite any time.

Vegemite is like really salty soy sauce. I'm surprised it's not more of a thing there.

I suspect people just use too much of it the first time they try it. It's otherwise good on toast or oddly enough, pancakes.

And chicken. And fried rice. And noodles. And when mixed with butter you practically get soy flavour. (Vegemite and chip sandwiches/filled rolls are great too!)

To be fair, on the foreign food topic, sushi becoming a mainstream food in the West was unthinkable in the 1990s. We, Euro Asians, have yet to convert them to the Gospel of Durian.

Speaking of Vegemite, the stores here no longer stock it and I'm running low. Do you have to get it sent to you too?
Also, which extra fermented soy sauce are you referring to?
