You actually would never hear an Aussie saying this except as a joke, because we don't say shrimp, we say prawn

Anyway I think South African accents are really interesting to listen to (ie Afrikaans). And 'black' African accents if you know what I mean are extremely appealing. I'm sure there are regional differences and so on but I couldn't put a label on them so I'll just lump them all in together - all great! And Indian accents.
