We don't say choice, that is a hippy/surfy word.
We are far more evolved than that.

victorians would say 'Casstle' where as SA would say 'Caastle'

you guys would emphasise the s and we would emphasise the a, and soudn it more like aar.

the K and C in this context would be pronounced the same wouldn't they?

"Never being wrong" is part of the specs.

makes for some interesting reading

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Australian_English

There is significant variation in Australian English vocabulary between different regions; perhaps the most prominent example being the many names for processed pork products, generally known in other countries as "bologna sausage" or "luncheon meat". It is known as strassberg - or alternatively Strasbourg - (or strass in its shortened form) in Melbourne and parts of rural Victoria, pork German in other parts of that state, Devon or Spam in New South Wales, German veal in Queensland, Fritz in South Australia and Polony in Western Australia.

It is sometimes claimed that there are variations in accent and pronunciation among people of different states and territories. However, these are small in comparison to those of the British and American English, and Australian pronunciation is determined less by region than by social, cultural and educational influences. Nevertheless, there are some well-documented regional preferences. For example, in Tasmania, words such as "dance", "grant" and "branch" are usually heard with the older pronunciation of these words, using /æ/, whereas in South Australia, /aː/ is preferred.[17] Both pronunciations are common in other parts of Australia, although when people sing the national anthem, "Advance Australia Fair", they often use [əd'vaːns] where they might otherwise use [əd'væːns]

A bit like POOL SCHOOL, COOL et al.

In Adelaide, we say pool as in pall (not exact but close).
In the Eastern States, it's more "pewl" (again not exact)
