In Sydney I visited a huge establishment where they kill and clean and solidly freeze a thousand sheep a day, for shipment to England.
The Australians did not seem to me to differ noticeably from Americans, either in dress, carriage, ways, pronunciation, inflections, or general appearance.

There were fleeting and subtle suggestions of their English origin, but these were not pronounced enough, as a rule, to catch one's attention.

The people have easy and cordial manners from the beginning -- from the moment that the introduction is completed.

This is American.
To put it in another way, it is English friendliness with the English shyness and self-consciousness left out.
Now and then--but this is rare--one hears such words as piper for paper, lydy for lady, and tyble for table fall from lips whence one would not expect such pronunciations to come.

There is a superstition prevalent in Sydney that this pronunciation is an Australianism, but people who have been "home"-- as the native reverently and lovingly calls England--know better.
