I Love Accents

I was watching a video with British kids trying to do their best Australian and American accents. One of the children said that both the Australian and American accent sound similar. In an American's point of view, the Australian and British accents sound far more similar. Do other Brits think that Australians sound more similar to Americans than they do to Britons? (History seems to support that Australians sound more similar to Brits.)

I don't think Australian accent sounds similar to American accent.
I'm not really sure if it's closer to UK accent.
I'm British.
