I'd say that's most of it. Having lived there for a year I found the people to generally be pretty similar to Canadians, although the guys generally aren't a fan of hearing North American accents hitting on their girls, which likely explains a good portion of the distaste we have for our Australian guys too. The upside to that is once you get a few good Aussie friends you can use their accent as bait when they come over for a visit.
