I don't have an accent. But I should have been more specific in what I was saying. The only time I've heard Aussie accents they have been cliched drunk yobbo types.

"Off to Bali and London, mate, then doin' Contiki through Europe. Aussie Aussie Aussie, Oi Oi Oi."
 
Saw 3-4 Vanuatu locals out in the slums of Port Vila wearing some AFL guernseys. Thought wtf? then realised there was a Sports merch shop in town.

Saw a guy in a tigers jumper in Rome at the fountain de trevi. Have mine in the cupboard but haven't put it on os. Even when I hear an Aussie accent, which is very rare, I cringe.
I struggle to identify an Aussie accent these days. I've lost my G'daydar.
 
I saw an "amateur style" pr0n video on the net with an English guy and a Brazilian woman in it... the guy is wearing a North Melbourne top at the start :-|

Obviously I can't post the link here... not making it up though.

John Longmire's number?
 
Open'er festival in Gdynia, Poland this year. Saw some guy in a Saints jumper - I yelled at him to take that *&%&ing ugly thing off.
 
Was travelling Asia recently ... hadnt seen any aussies for a while. It was during the finals series so I was desperate to talk football.
One of the Irish mates Id made started rocking around in a Hawks jumper... was a very keen follower.
 
Orlando Disneyland, wearing my Hawks jumper and ran into a Pies jersey. A fist fight (unfortunately) did not occur because he was about 6'2" and heavy.
 
This was one of our sherpas in a hike through the Himalayas in Nepal. :p

(may have been mentioned) In Barcelona there were groups of Africans all over the place selling fake jewellery on the street. They'd lay it all out on the pavement on a large sheet. Obviously what they were doing was illegal, because as soon as they saw cops coming, they'd roll it all up and bolt.

The funny thing with them was that they were ALL wearing AFL guernseys. And even weirder was that all the guenrseys were non-Victorian clubs...

Culture?
 
Two things.
This one isn't unusual at all... but nonetheless... a while back when I was at Disneyland, me and my old man saw a family all wearing Essendon caps, my dad pointed and I laughed, not like a funny laugh, like an 'OH WOW!' laugh... the family then proceeded to give us the dirtiest look ever... we didn't understand why, until we realised their kid had down syndrome, and they thought we were pointing and laughing at him... yeah, not too great... never point guys.

Then earlier this year I saw these in an East London Vintage Store... fair to say I wasn't expecting to see them...

Culture?
Non-Victorian clubs give old jumpers to charities overseas but Victorian clubs cover them in whale oil and burn them in the middle of summer?
 
I went to my son's school here in Canada.
Four kids were wearing footy jumpers out the front of school.
Turns out they were in the school rugby team that went to Australia on tour.
They wear them for PE class.
They were: Hawks Clash, Carlton Home, Freo Home and Port Clash.
The kid wearing the Carlton jumper now plays for Canada in rugby.

Another time I walked past a bloke wearing an Eagles scarf in Victoria BC.
As we passed each other I said "bloody Eagles supporters, you're everywhere".
He smiled and waved his scarf a little bit.
