Would you agree that the normal Aussie accent in Sydney sounds quite gruff & unrefined. It's hard to speak kindly, its as if it sounds the person talking is always pissed off, even if they're not!
Compared with the urban (normal) American accent where its easier to reflect the certain emotion in the words..
To be honest, the Australian accent makes me cringe. I've always sounded more English than Australian- but the 'Australianism' always seems to come out when I'm intoxicated. Ugh. I hate it! Thankfully those times are few and far between nowadays though! (Currently non existent since I'm expecting!).
But yes, to answer the OP's question, the Australian accent sounds harsh, and in my personal opinion it sounds horrible. I've never, ever liked it!

No. To me, it always sounds like a question is being asked?
That's just sad, an accent is nothing to be ashamed of.
Haha.. yeah sometimes after I have been shopping at Kmart and Coles in my local mall, I like to meet some friends at Gloria Jeans for a latte. But I go to Marrickville Metro, and my European friends positively hate my Australian accent.
I hate the Australian accent. It should sound more continental

Australia is a continent.
