One similarity between Australian and Brits is that Australians follow the British style of spelling. For example, in Australia (like in Britain) we write colour (in the USA they spell it COLOR).
Other Australian/British spellings include favourite, oesophagus, centre etc. I think Microsoft and other companies have been slowly changing the Australian language though. I think the default dictionary on most computers in Australia is American English! Even now, I can see red lines under my spelling for the words above.
