The Origins of the Australian Australian Accent

i received a lot of voice samples from australia, but very few of the speakers had this type of broad accent. Soi asn't able to capture this sound very well in those samples. However, there was a very well known person who had that type of accent. It was steve irwin, also known as the crocodile hunter. He routinely featured these types of pronunciations. Here's a short clip from him where you'll hear the word age pronounced as ige and male, as in the ginger male, pronounced as mile.
